Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order Friday that will lift most of the state's coronavirus rules.

The order Newsom signed Friday takes effect Tuesday.

It will end the state's stay-at-home order and its various amendments.

Starting Tuesday, there will be no capacity limits or physical distancing requirements for businesses. Fully vaccinated people can stop wearing masks in most places.

Newsom said he will not end the statewide declaration of emergency.

That ensures the governor has the power to alter or suspend state laws in the future. That has angered Republican lawmakers who say the declaration is unnecessary.

Governor Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday that California can fully open again as early as June 15 if certain conditions are met. 

California's COVID-19 vaccine supply has to be sufficient for all adults who wish to receive the shot, and hospitalization rates must remain stable and low, Newsom says. 

“It is time to turn the page on our tier system and begin looking to fully reopen California’s economy. We can now begin planning for our lives post-pandemic,” Newsom said in a news release.

Newsom says the state will remain mindful of variants and spread of the virus. The biggest concern they face is tourism from other states and countries bringing coronavirus back into California. 

Officials say conventions and other large-scale indoor events will be allowed to open up with testing or vaccination verification, bringing the controversial "vaccine passport" debate to California. 

“We will need to remain vigilant, and continue the practices that got us here – wearing masks and getting vaccinated – but the light at the end of this tunnel has never been brighter,” Newsom said.

Last week, the state opened up vaccines to everyone over the age of 50. Beginning April 15, all adults will be eligible to receive a shot.

The state's vaccine supply has doubled in just over three weeks from 2 million to 4 million.

California has reported 3,583,830 total cases of COVID-19 and 58,541 COVID-19 related deaths to date.
