For five weeks, San Mateo County has remained in the orange tier. As restaurants, retail and some events have opened to limited indoor service, county COVID-19 rates have remained steady. Now, county officials say it may move to the less-restrictive yellow tier as early as May 4.
With more than two-thirds of adult residents vaccinated, the county is seeing just 37 new cases on average each day with few new deaths reported. Last week, the county logged 3.9 cases per 100,000 people per day
with an adjusted case rate of 2. To move to the yellow tier next week, the county must see an adjusted case rate thatâs below 2.0. The countyâs positivity rate sits at 0.9 percent total, with 1.4 percent reported in the countyâs most at-risk ZIP codes, both within the yellow tier range.

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA Despite making progress on vaccinations, San Mateo County officials voiced displeasure with a decrease in supply of COVID-19 vaccine from the state during a Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday.
The county received 11,180 doses last week, down from 11,650 the week before. It has seen its vaccine supply decrease by about a third over a number of weeks, according to Louise Rogers, chief of San Mateo County Health.
More than 63 percent of eligible residents in the county were vaccinated as of Tuesday. David Canepa, president of the Board of Supervisors, argued that the state was penalizing the county for its success.
