San Francisco 1st Bay Space county within the yellow tier

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — San Francisco has officially become the first Bay Area county to enter the yellow tier in California’s reopening plan this year.

It’s the least restrictive tier, and comes with several loosened rules that San Francisco hasn’t experienced since November — just before the hard-hitting winter COVID-19 surge that caused a stay at home order across the state.

California officials made the announcement on Tuesday, and businesses can start allowing more capacity as soon as Wednesday morning.

The rest of the Bay Area remains one phase behind, in the orange tier. Solano County is the only one still in the red tier.

Here are San Francisco’s new face mask rules

By June 15, Gov. Newsom has set an expectation for the whole state to fully reopen, nullifying the tier system.
