New Color-Coded Tiered System for Reopening |
|
|
|
Governor Newsom released a new color-coded, tiered system for reopening California businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic. Counties will be allowed to move through the four-tier system based on the following three criteria:
1) Case Rate - 7-day average of new cases per 100,000
2) Test Positivity Rate - 7-day average percentage of positive cases per number of people tested
3) Health Equity Measure (yet to be determined)
A breakdown of the tiers is as follows:
-
PURPLE - Highest risk tier. It includes counties with a case rate of 7 new cases per 100,000 and a positivity rate of more than 8%.
-
RED – Second highest risk tier. It includes counties with a case rate of 4-7 new cases per 100,000 and a positivity rate of 5-8%.
-
ORANGE – Third highest risk tier. It includes counties with a case rate of 1-3.9% new cases per 100,000 and a positivity rate of 2-4.9%.
-
YELLOW – Lowest risk tier. It includes counties with a case rate of less than 1 new case per 100,000 and a positivity rate of less than 2%.
Orange County is currently listed as purple, which means many non-essential indoor business operations are closed. However, according to the State’s website, hair salons and barbershops can resume indoor operations Monday, August 31. All retail and shopping centers in the purple tier can open with maximum capacity at 25%.
|
|
Orange County will be given credit for meeting the criteria for “red” status. If the trend continues, and our numbers continue to decline, we anticipate the County may move from Purple to Red on or around Tuesday, September 8.
