On Wednesday, that data point stood at 3.5%. In terms of what that means for counties progressing to less-restrictive tiers of his reopening plan Newsom said, “Remember… We have one county, Plumas…that’s moving out of purple into the red tier today. I anticipate substantial number next week and even more in the subsequent weeks.” He then went even further. “If the trend lines continue — and, indeed I think that is the case — we’ll see counties move,” said the governor, “not just from purple to red, but more and more, red to orange and I anticipate, based on the number that are already in orange, you’ll see many more that are in that yellow tier as well, which is more permissive in the tiers that we put out 24 weeks ago in our blueprint for a safer reopening.”
