Ridgecrest Daily Independent
Kern County will remain in the state’s orange tier for at least another two weeks after it failed to meet yellow tier requirements this week.
The California Department of Health reported Tuesday that Kern has an adjusted case of 2.8 new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people, which meets the state’s orange tier requirements. In order to move into the state’s least restrictive tier, Kern must report an adjusted case rate of 2.0 per 100,000 people for two weeks.
For now, the county currently meets two of three needed criteria. According to the state’s latest update, Kern reported a 1.3% seven-day positivity rate and a 1.8% health equity quartile positivity rate.

California Assembly Committee Passes Bill to Allow CBD in Food Despite FDA Prohibition
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (April 30, 2021) – On Tuesday, a California Assembly committee passed a bill that would authorize the legal sale of food and food additives containing CBD within the state, despite an ongoing FDA prohibition on the same.
Assm. Cecilia Aguiar-Curry (D-Winters) filed Assembly Bill 45 (AB45) last December. The legislation would allow cannabinoids and other hemp extracts to be added to dietary supplements, food, beverages, cosmetics and pet food, despite FDA prohibition on the same. The bill declares that a dietary supplement, food, beverage, cosmetic, or pet food is not adulterated by the inclusion of industrial hemp or cannabinoids, extracts, or derivatives from industrial hemp as long as it meets state specifications.
