[START MESSAGE]
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on January 25, 2021, that California lifted their previous “Stay-At-Home” Order, which happened on December 4, 2020.
The availability of ICU beds related to COVID-19 cases has increased more than 15% over the past 4 weeks across the state.
Reopening Updates
Each county is using the four-tier, color-coded classification system that will determine which business can reopen or not.
