Napa County on Tuesday moved to orange on the state s COVID-19 rating scale and is subject to fewer business and activity restrictions â for now.
Being in orange allows restaurants, movie theaters and fitness centers to serve more people indoors. Wineries can hold indoor tastings and bowling alleys can reopen. Â
The move up to orange takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.Â
But Dr. Karen Relucio, county public health officer, said that the county s most recent COVID-19 rates are trending higher. Unless that changes, the county could fall back into red on April 14.
âOur overarching goal is to remain orange,â Relucio told the Napa County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. âWe donât want this to be short-lived.â
