Tier assignments as of May 4
On April 6, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a plan to fully reopen California’s economy on June 15 if current COVID-19 trends hold. California would end its four-colored tier system at that point, but Newsom said California’s mask mandate wouldn’t be lifted anytime soon.
Until then, the state continues to make weekly adjustments to its tier system and, based on Tuesday’s update – changes take effect Wednesday – none of California’s 58 counties remain in the purple tier (considered widespread risk). There will be 12 counties in the red tier (substantial risk); 39 counties in the orange tier (moderate risk, up from 38 a week ago); and seven in the yellow tier (minimal risk), including Los Angeles County the state’s most populated county.
On Nov. 24, the state had 41 counties in purple, 11 counties in red, four in orange, two in yellow.
Counties are assigned to a tier based on metrics showing the speed and the spread of the virus in their borders.
