Contra Costa County Moves Back to Purple Tier
Contra Costa County Returns to Purple Tier
In response to the continuing surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across the State of California, Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday moved several counties (including Contra Costa County) back to the purple (most restrictive) tier on the State of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
The adjusted daily number of new COVID-19 cases in Contra Costa County has doubled in recent weeks, going from 4.3 per 100,000 population on Oct. 16 to 9.2 on Nov. 16, 2020. In Danville case count is 43 per 100,000 population, a 38% increase since last week.
In addition to those restrictions announced last week, the move to the purple tier also includes:
For Danville, front counters at the Danville Community Center, Danville Senior Center and the Village Theatre Art Gallery will no longer be open to the public. When the Town progresses to the next tier, those facilities can reopen to the public.
Following the health order will be very important as the holiday season approaches. Gatherings should be limited to family members. Holiday travel is not recommended, and for anyone doing so, it is strongly encouraged that those individuals voluntarily quarantine for 14 days after returning.
What can I do to help my county move forward to the next tier?
