But we want to explain the new rules when it comes to the coronavirus. Today the governor introduced a new tier system when businesses can reopen. Here is how it works. It is a lot to digest. Each county is assigned to one of the four tiers. It is color coated. They are based on the rate of new cases and the Positivity Rate. You could see here the criteria each county needs to meet.
