Mendocino Co. has entered the orange tier of COVID restrictions — California to be fully open by June 15

WILLITS, 4/7/21 — After over a year of pandemic restrictions Mendocino County, along with much of the state, has been moved to the “orange tier” of COVID restrictions, which means increased capacity at houses of worship, movie theaters, restaurants, bars, and other places. The mask mandate remains in place, but with vaccination continuing apace, and the target of 4 million vaccinations provided in the particularly low health rating zip codes, Governor Newsom announced yesterday that the state would be relaxing the tier requirements, and that the state would be fully re-opened by June 15.

Mendocino has seen very low case rates and positivity rates in the past few days, and had already reached the old orange tier levels, meaning that had the governor not made the change we likely would’ve passed into the orange tier in a matter of days anyhow.
