Orange County Draws Nearer to a Less-Restrictive World
Orange County is on track to graduate to a less-restrictive COVID-19 tier next week, according to county officials.
Orange County recorded one week of improved metrics and must improve or maintain its numbers for an additional week before reaching the red tier’s less prohibitive set of guidelines.
“Before Orange County can move to the red tier, we must meet certain benchmarks set by the state regarding daily case rate, positivity rate, and health equity rate for two consecutive weeks, which we’re on track to meet,” Supervisor Andrew Do said in a press release. “Thanks to the diligence of our residents and business operators, we’re on the cusp of moving to the red tier, but we must remember to not let our guard down and continue adhering to local health guidance.”
