One week before most COVID restrictions are set to be lifted in California, Del Norte County remained in the red tier of restrictions. Dr. Warren Rehwaldt told the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors that while new cases were still occurring, he is ready for restrictions to be lifted. "We're looking forward to seeing the tiers go away," Rehwaldt said. "I get the sense the worst of the pandemic is behind us, and hopefully it will stay behind us." The key to keeping COVID at bay continues to be getting people vaccinated, Rehwaldt said. To help with that, Rehwaldt said Del Norte Public Health recently moved its vaccine program to Snap Nurse. The move extended vaccine clinics at the county fairgrounds to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The clinic will also move to different locations around the county in an effort to reach more people.
