Red means more indoor businesses like museums and movie theaters can reopen with restrictions. Orange means places like indoor wineries and bowling alleys can open. And at the yellow level, all indoor businesses can reopen with modifications. Ans physal distancing is still required. So are masks and health screenings.

Heres where the governor says the stringent part comes in to play at the state level. We have a criteria, not just 21 days moves between tiers but two weeks, some stability and steadiness before you move into those tiers.
