Governor Newsom says COVID-19 tier changes could come next week. Most of California’s 58 counties remain in the most restrictive purple tier. However the weekly number of people testing positive for COVID-19 is dropping dramatically. “3.5%, 7 day positivity rate. We were at 11.4% a month ago. So if this trend continues, most California counties should be out of the purple tier by this time next month. The county’s rate of new cases dropped enough to allow elementary schools to resume in-person instruction for students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade. However, two of the county’s largest school districts the San Diego Unified School District and Chula Vista Elementary School District will likely remain closed to in-person learning for the forseeable future. San Diego Unified plans for a fall full reopening and Chula Vista will consider once in the red tier.
