Riverside County may be days away from moving out of the purple tier
Assuming the State of California meets projected vaccination goals, Riverside County could meet case rate levels that would put us into the Red Tier as soon as Friday.
However, it s still unclear if the state will change those measurement thresholds, and if so, how soon after that we d see restrictions lifted in Riverside County. This week, Riverside County qualifies to advance to the next tier in the state’s reopening framework for the first time since late September. The accelerated progression is due to the low rate of positive tests in the county’s most disadvantaged communities, said Brooke Federico, Riverside County Public Information Officer.

Through its Whole Person Care (WPC) program, Riverside County, Calif., is using data analytics to help keep probationers off the streets and out of the emergency room.
When prisoners are released from incarceration, they visit with a probation officer and a nurse, who screen them for substance abuse, physical and behavioral health as well as social services and housing needs. The nurse then makes referrals based on those needs, and the county tracks how well those interventions work at keeping probationers healthy and sheltered. The program, led by the Riverside University Health System (RUHS), has screened almost 12,000 people since it started in October 2017.
