OC Moving to Yellow Wednesday

Orange County is expected to move to the State’s less-restrictive yellow tier on Wednesday, according to reports.

Most stores and restaurants have already returned to full capacity; however, others will be cleared to reopen indoor service or expand attendance. Bars that don’t serve food can now invite a percentage of patrons inside.
