Cable car bells clanged, Minions danced and restaurant patrons sipped their drinks indoors on a scorching day as California fully reopened its economy after 15 months of coronavirus restrictions.

From the wine country to Disneyland, restaurants and other businesses threw open their doors wide on Tuesday and many allowed fully vaccinated customers to throw away their masks as the state ended its color-coded COVID-19 restriction tiers amid a plunge in infections and rising vaccination rates.

Newsom pointed to the more than 40 million doses of vaccine administered -- to more than 70 per cent of the state's adults -- and the resulting plunge in cases as the reason for the reopening. California currently has one of the nation's lowest infection rates, below 1 per cent. The reopening was met with exuberance -- especially on a day when many areas of the state saw sweltering outdoor temperatures and indoor air conditioning beckoned. But it also prompted caution from people well aware that millions still haven't had their shots and the coronavirus is anything but eradicated.

Many museums still required masks, especially since there is, as yet, no federally approved vaccine for young children. "I think we're all excited to fill up the stadium and get that energy going back in this place," L.A. third baseman Justin Turner said before the game. "It's something we feed off of."
