California will reimpose indoor mask mandates in public settings from Wednesday

The indoor mask mandates in public settings will apply to all residents, regardless of vaccination status, starting 15 December 2021.

And:

• will require people attending events of 1,000 people or more that don’t require vaccination to show proof of a negative test taken within one day for an antigen test, and within two days for a PCR test.
• it will recommend that travellers returning to California get tested three to five days after arrival

The heightened concern over the spread of the new variant is a negative sentiment input for risk trades. I suspect it’ll be shaken off soon enough (again).
