Napa County Moves To Orange Tier: What To Know

NAPA COUNTY, CA — Come Wednesday in Napa County, indoor operations can increase at many businesses and public places, while bars, where no meals are provided, can increase their outdoor operations.

That's because Napa County will enter the less restrictive Orange Tier under the state of California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy, state officials announced Tuesday.

"Community members are reminded that COVID-19 is still present in our community," Napa County Office of Emergency Services said. "Please continue to take protective measures such as wearing a face covering, washing your hands frequently, and keeping a minimum of 6’ of distance from those outside your household, even if you have been vaccinated. Indoor gatherings are still strongly discouraged. Outdoor gatherings of no more than three households, including your own are allowed under the Orange Tier."
