Marin on Cusp of Becoming First Bay Area County in State s Least Restrictive Reopening Tier
Marin County may be headed into California s yellow, least restrictive reopening tier as early as Tuesday, when state health officials announce weekly changes.
The county would join just three others in the state â Lassen, Alpine and Sierra â currently in the yellow tier, allowing most indoor businesses to reopen. That includes indoor bars that don t serve food, which could reopen at 25% capacity. It would also allow for larger indoor and outdoor gatherings.
The county is right on the cusp of the state s threshold to advance into the minimal tier, said county spokesperson Laine Hendricks on Monday.
