Orange County Advances to the Next Stage of Reopening

The California Department of Health announced that Orange County may move into Red Tier of the State's new reopening guidelines on Sunday, March 14 -meaning restaurants, gyms, churches, museums, and movie theatres may now resume indoor operations at limited capacity. Bars that do not serve meals must remain closed.

Indoor malls, barbershops and hair salons may also increase indoor capacity under Red Tier, and Middle and High Schools may reopen for in-person hybrid instruction.
Most other retailers can continue operating, as long as they limit how many people are inside at one time.
 
What can now be open?

• Indoor dining: open at 25 percent capacity
• Movie theaters: open at 25 percent capacity
• Museums: open indoors at 25 percent capacity
• Gyms, yoga studios: open indoors at 10 percent capacity
• Stores: indoor capacity increases to 50 percent
• Malls: indoor capacity increases to 50 percent

 
Maximum indoor capacities are dependent on business type and should be referenced in the Reopening Tier Guideline Chart and its corresponding capacity limits.
