The Order will be reassessed on a weekly basis and will be lifted when a region’s projected ICU capacity meets or exceeds 15%.

On August 28, 2020, the State revised its criteria for counties to reopen local businesses, schools, and other industries. Please visit the State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy to review this criteria and understand when you can reopen for business.
Under the State’s new criteria, every county in California is assigned to a tier based on its rates of new COVID-19 cases, positivity and health equity. Counties are eligible to transition to the next less restrictive tier by successfully remaining in their current tier for 3 weeks. They must also meet the criteria for the next less restrictive tier for 2 consecutive weeks.
The State reviews COVID-19 data weekly and updates each county’s tier on Tuesdays. State public health officials are regularly monitoring data and making adjustments as needed.
