Governor Newsom announced California will get rid of the color-coded tier system.

California conducted the slowest reopening process in the nation, and may also be the reason that over 2 million Californians signed the petition to Recall Gavin Newsom. Newsom implemented strict guidelines that caused thousands of businesses to permanently close.
Newsom’s infamous dinner party at The French Laundry, where he was seen dining indoors without a mask, also gave the recall momentum.
