California will update its COVID-19 face-covering guidance next week, but some details will remain in place, namely the requirement for people in K-12 schools to wear masks indoors even if they are vaccinated. 

The updated guidance, effective June 15, 2021, stated that around “15% of our population remains without the option for vaccination (children under 12 years old are not yet eligible) and risk for COVID-19 exposure and infection will remain until we reach full community immunity.”
