than the coronavirus watchlist. the guidelines are broken down into a four tier color-coded system. it simplifies the criteria down to numbers of cases per 100,000 people and positivity test rate. each county in the state lands in one of four tiers broken down by risk factor. these are categorized from most restrictive to least. these are as follows, widespread or purple means many nonessential businesses are closed. substantial, or read, means some businesses are closed. moderate, or orange means some indoor businesses can open with modifications. minimal, yellow, means most indoor businesses can open with modifications. data will be reviewed weekly. these tears are updated on tuesdays. to move forward, they must meet the criteria for two circuit weeks. they must stay in this tier before moving to the next one. >> we will be more stubborn. we will have a mandatory wait time between moves. we did not do that last time. that is a significant distinction between what we have learned from the past, and what we are advancing in this more stringent, but, we believe, more steady approach. to give you an idea of where the state stance, 80% of california is in the purple, or, most restrictive tear. only 0.1% is in the least restrict. all counties are purple except for san francisco and napa, which are red. so is lake county. despite the bay area being purple, some closed
