COVID-19: San Bernardino County to move to less-restrictive red tier on Sunday
Victorville Daily Press
San Bernardino County will move from the most-restrictive tier in the state’s color-coded COVID-19 reopening plan to the less-restrictive red tier Sunday, a move that paves the way for certain businesses, like movie theaters and museums, to reopen with modifications, county and state officials announced Friday.
San Bernardino County has operated in the purple tier indicating a widespread risk of infection since last August. Its transition to red comes amid increased vaccinations and a dramatic decrease in COVID-19 cases, according to county Public Health Director Corwin Porter.
We ve done testing, we ve done education, and now it s time to do the vaccinations, said Bishop Kelvin Simmons from Immanuel Praise Fellowship.
These trusted leaders are here to spread that message to fellow members of the Black community, who they say have been reluctant to get the COVID-19 vaccinations. We know that it was important to do the education part because I ll just be upfront with you, I was one of the ones that said I was not going to tell my congregation to do the vaccination,” said Bishop Simmons. It s imperative that no one or no group is left behind in these efforts, said Corwin Porter, San Bernardino County public health director.
