On August 28, California governor Gavin Newsom announced the launch of Blueprint for a Safer Economy, a website that provides county-specific criteria for loosening and tightening restrictions on activities across the state of California. Search for your county and/or activity here.
Activities range from appliance repair shops to zoos and all other kinds of activities and businesses in between. The Blueprint for a Safer Economy is administered by the California Department of Public Health which replaced its previous “watch list” system of tracking COVID-19 trends with a four-tier, color coded classification system.
Rules for moving through the tiers include:
- CDPH will assess indicators weekly. The first weekly assessment will be released on September 8, 2020.
- A county will remain in a tier for a minimum of three weeks before being able to advance to a later tier.
- A county can only move forward one tier at a time, even if metrics qualify for a more advanced tier.
- If a county's case rate and test positivity measure fall into two different tiers, the county will be assigned to the more restrictive tier.
- City local health jurisdiction (LHJ) data will be included in overall metrics, and city LHJs will be assigned the same tier as the surrounding county.
More information about moving through the tiers is available here. If you just want a simple overview, check out the ABC 7 News Reopening Tracker which summarizes all county tiers based on the Blueprint data.
