** Cafe Blue Door has apparently lifted its facemask requirements, and the City of Berkeley has adjusted its vaccination, booster, and facemask guidelines from "Required" to "Recommended" as per the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VACCINATION, BOOSTERS STILL RECOMMENDED FOR RESTAURANTS, GYMS AND EVENTS AS REQUIREMENTS REMOVED
Staying up to date on boosters and using high quality masks provide essential protection

Berkeley, California (Wednesday, March 09, 2022) - Berkeley's Health Officer strongly recommends that restaurants, gyms and indoor events continue to encourage vaccination of employees and patrons, but verification will no longer be required starting Friday March 11.

Some other businesses with higher risk settings - such as pharmacies, childcare facilities and long-term care - will be able to let fully vaccinated workers get tested instead of requiring boosters.   

The shift from requirements to recommendations reflects the current phase of the pandemic, with hospitalizations and severe illness remaining low amidst an ongoing decline in infections.

Businesses will have the option to set stricter regulations. Some patrons, including those at higher risk due to age or medical conditions, may prefer it. Vaccinations, masks, ventilation, checking for negative tests and other pandemic tools reduce risks of outbreaks and employees getting sick at work.

Whether virtually or in-person, hope to see some of you at the meetup :-)
