COVID-19 Updates
Orange County Poised to Enter Red Tier on Sunday
Starting Sunday, March 14, restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters in Orange County can once again host customers indoors while an array of other businesses and public places can boost max capacities as several counties across California emerge from the strictest purple tier of pandemic rules and enter the more relaxed red tier.
Local leaders had expected Orange County to phase into the red tier Wednesday, March 17, per the color-coded blueprints that allow restrictions to be lifted in counties that meet certain COVID-19 case rate and testing positivity goals. However, tremendous improvements in case rates and other metrics - coupled with unfolding mass vaccination - have made public health officials optimistic that ongoing immunization will keep the spread of COVID-19 manageable.
On Thursday, state Department of Public Health officials announced breweries, wineries and distilleries – but not bars – that don’t serve meals can reopen outdoors in counties that fall in the purple or red tiers. Patrons must have reservations and can only be seated for 90 minutes at most.
Please visit the State's website at https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/, enter Orange in the County field and business or activity of interest in the Activity field and click the Get Latest Risk Levels button to view its status under the Red Tier.
