CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA Seven California counties, including three in the Bay Area, moved into the red tier Tuesday. But Contra Costa County is among four Bay Area counties that remain in the most-strict purple tier.
Contra Costa could move into the red tier in two to three weeks, assuming current trends continue, public health officials told the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday.
Marin and San Mateo counties were allowed to move into the less-strict red tier last week, while Napa, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties moved into the red tier Tuesday.

“This is an extremely unfortunate situation for our patients, and one that is avoidable if we can get additional vaccine supply,” said Angeline Sheets, director of media relations for the company, which has requested additional allocations from the state.
