COVID-19 Update – June 15, 2021

Consistent with the June 15 state reopening, the CA Department of Public Health released an update regarding wearing face coverings in public places.

The guidance from the CA Public Health Department is as follows:

• Fully vaccinated individuals can resume everyday activities without wearing a mask
  This means that fully vaccinated customers may enter EB branches and offices without a face covering

• Unvaccinated individuals must wear masks in indoor public settings and businesses
  This means that unvaccinated customers are required to wear a face covering inside EB branches and offices 

Note: Until further notice, Exchange Bank employees will continue to wear face coverings in all branches and offices.

Are there exceptions for unvaccinated people to not wear a mask?

There are a few exceptions. If you meet one of these exceptions, you may enter an EB branch or department without a face mask:

• Children younger than two years old
• If you have a medical condition, mental health condition or disability that prevents wearing a mask
• If you are hearing impaired or with a person who is hearing impaired and needs to see the mouth to communicate

For more information please visit the California Department of Public Health “Face Coverings Q&A” page
