Yellow’s the new orange in Orange County, but business owners and residents are already looking ahead to June 15 the day proposed by state officials for California to fully reopen its economy.
Orange County transitioned into the last and least restrictive tier in the state’s reopening framework on Wednesday, but that doesn’t lend itself to much change in operations for most businesses, which largely have been able to operate at 50% capacities since the county entered the orange tier on March 29.
