HANFORD â With the lifting of the regional stay-at-home order on Monday, the Kings County Department of Public Health is urging residents to continue with COVID-19 prevention measures, including wearing masks, avoiding gatherings and staying home when sick.
The lifting of the order means the county will go back to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy with color-coded tiers. Kings County is currently in the Widespread Purple Tier with a current daily adjusted COVID-19 case rate of 77.2 per 100,000 and the seven-day average testing positivity at 17.5%.
Under the Purple Tier, multiple sectors can immediately begin to operate outdoors with modifications, including restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, places of worship and more. Sectors allowed to operate indoors with modifications include all retail and shopping centers at a maximum of 25% indoor capacity, and hair salons, barber shops and nail salons.
