Santa Clara County has fallen to the orange tier of coronavirus restrictions along with several other Bay Area counties, just a week after San Mateo County became the first in the region to do so.
Here’s a list of businesses that are allowed to open in the orange tier:
- Bars that don’t provide meals (only outdoors)
- Movie theaters (50% capacity or 200 people, whichever is fewer)
- Amusement parks and theme parks (25% capacity or 500 people, whichever is fewer)
Here’s a list of businesses allowed in the red tier, but with expanded capacity in the orange tier:
- Shopping malls (no capacity limit provided by state)
- Places of worship (50% capacity or 200 people, whichever is fewer)
- Indoor dining (50% capacity or 200 people, whichever is fewer)
- Gyms and fitness centers (25% capacity)
