California unveils new rules on gatherings, social events - Los Angeles Times
"With the holiday season approaching, California last week released new guidelines for socializing that prohibit gatherings among more than three households.
...Here are the latest guidelines:
1. Attendance-Gatherings that include more than three households are prohibited...
5. Wear a face covering to keep the coronavirus from spreading-When gathering, face coverings must be worn in accordance with the California Department of Public Health guidance, unless an exemption is applicable.
People at gatherings may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least six feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity...
6. Keep it short-Gatherings should be two hours or less...
7. Rules for singing, chanting and shouting at outdoor gatherings-...singing, chanting and shouting are strongly discouraged, but if they occur, the following rules and recommendations apply:
Instrumental music is allowed as long as the musicians maintain at least six-foot physical distancing. Musicians must be from one of the three households. Playing of wind instruments (any instrument played by the mouth, such as a trumpet or clarinet) is strongly discouraged.
All people who are singing or chanting should wear a face covering at all times while singing or chanting, including anyone who is leading a song or chant. 
People who are singing or chanting are strongly encouraged to do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice)...Read all.
