Sonoma County remains in the orange tier in thestates framework.California and Sonoma County are on track tofully reopenby June 15, if hospitalizations stay low and Californians continue to get vaccinated. When California fully reopens the economy, the state will move Beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Common-sense health measures such as masking will remain across the state.

This week, the Countys adjusted case rate held to 2.2 new daily cases per 100,000, atest positivity rate of .7 percent,and anequity metric positivity rate of 1.2. If Sonoma Countys case rate fall below 2, the County could move to the less restrictive yellow tier.

Want to help Sonoma County get into an even less restrictive tier and fully reopen by June 15th?Keep up the good work by continuing to follow the mitigation measures we are all now so familiar with wear your mask in indoor public spaces and when in crowds, keep your distance, practice good hand hygiene, limit gatherings and consider getting tested for COVID-19.

While a growing number of us are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, health officials say that we all need to continue to use appropriate mitigation measures as there is a continued risk of transmission, especially with Memorial Day weekend approaching. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky on Tuesday said that those who are unvaccinated are still at risk and should wear masks when appropriate and consider taking advantage of the long weekend to get their shots. She urged those who are fully vaccinated to have a happy, safe weekend.
