SACRAMENTO California lifted regional stay-at-home orders across the state Monday in response to improving coronavirus conditions, returning the state to a system of county-by-county restrictions, state health officials announced.
The order had been in place in the San Francisco Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley and Southern California, covering the majority of the state’s counties.
The change will allow businesses such as restaurants to resume outdoor operations in many areas, though local officials could choose to continue stricter rules. The state is also lifting a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
“Together, we changed our activities knowing our short-term sacrifices would lead to longer-term gains. COVID-19 is still here and still deadly, so our work is not over, but it’s important to recognize our collective actions saved lives and we are turning a critical corner,” Dr. Tomas Aragon, the state’s public health director, said in a statement.

With California lifting the regional stay-at-home order Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom shared a new map Monday in his weekly press conference showing all nine Bay Area counties in the purple tier of the state s color-coded system that dictates which activities and businesses can open based on local case rates and test positivity. The state is expected to confirm tier assignments Tuesday.
In the purple tier, the state allows counties to reopen outdoor dining and worship services, hair and nail salons and other businesses, and increase capacity at retailers, with restrictions in place. Certain youth sports can also resume.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) San Francisco will begin partially reopening businesses this Thursday. The decision was made by Mayor London Breed following the Governor s announcement lifting the stay-at-home order. As you may recall, indoor dining and salons have been closed since November 13.
Mayor London Breed made the announcement in a press conference and said health experts expect the city to be assigned to the state s purple tier so they will proceed with reopening accordingly. Just keep in mind that this is just not an open door for us to all of a sudden let our hair down and do whatever we want to do, Breed said. Let s keep doing what we re doing. Let s keep being smart about wearing our mask and who we interact with, let s limit the number of people that we interact with so that we can make sure that we don t see another surge and see this fire continue to get out of control.
