CORONAVIRUS TIERSHere is what you should know about the state’s reopening plans.In mid-March 2020, when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit California, state officials shut down many industries or established restrictions in order to mitigate the spread of the virus. Since then, the state developed a reopening plan that impacts each county.The plan is a four-tier color system for reopening the state. Counties move in and out of tiers based on their number of COVID-19 cases. Purple is the most restrictive, followed by red, orange and yellow, the least restrictive. Tier assignments may occur any day of the week and may occur more than once a week.After reaching its goal of administering 4 million COVID-19 vaccine doses in March, the state changed its guidelines and made it easier for counties to move more quickly through tiers. Gov. Newsom announced a target date of June 15 to fully reopen the economy and do away with the tier system. Doing so hinges on two criteria being met: If vaccine supply is sufficient for Californians 16 years and older who want the vaccine, and if hospitalization rates are stable and low.California no longer will require social distancing and will allow full capacity for businesses when the state reopens on June 15, health officials said.| MORE | Here’s what is allowed in the red tier| MORE |

REOPENING STATUSCalifornia launched interactive maps in February to show the status of school reopenings across California as many students and teachers neared the one-year mark of distance learning since the start of the pandemic.The maps will display data from different school types, including school districts and charter and private schools, indicating status on reopening, safety planning and COVID-19 resources, the governor’s office said in a news release.| MORE | Find all interactive maps here | MORE | School district calendars in NorCal: Where to find reopening schedules, COVID-19 plans and moreYOUTH SPORTS GUIDELINESThe State of California on Feb. 19, 2021, loosened guidelines for youth sports and community-sponsored programs, which include private clubs and leagues.The new guidelines, effective Feb. 26, allow all outdoor sports to resume in counties where case rates are at or below 14 people per 100,000. High-contact sports must test coaches and players 13 and older for COVID-19 once a week. Test results, which the state will pay for, must be available within 24 hours of competition. The change allows outdoor high-contact sports to be played in some counties that are in purple or red tiers. Play was previously only allowed in orange tier counties. | MORE | Click here to see the full list of activities allowed in each tierWHO IS BEING INFECTED?According to data from the California Department of Public Health, Latino and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander groups have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 relative to their population in the state. State data also shows that men generally have a higher number of COVID-19 related deaths relative to their population. When it comes to age, data shows that people 18-49 have a disproportionate number of cases. However, people 65 and older make up for a disproportionate number of deaths.

I GET TESTED FOR COVID-19? WHERE CAN I GET A TEST IN CALIFORNIA?The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you should consider taking a COVID-19 test if you:Have symptoms of COVID-19.Have had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) with someone with confirmed COVID-19.Have been asked or referred to get testing by their health care provider, local/external icon or state health department.Here is where you can search for a testing site by address, city, county or ZIP code in California. For more information on testing, visit here.The FDA has also approved a test for COVID-19 that you can take at home. The test kits are available for purchase on Amazon with a turnaround time for results of 24 to 72 hours after the sample is shipped and received.HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELFHere are six ways to protect yourself and family, according to the California Department of Public Health:• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.• Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.• Cover a cough or sneeze with your sleeve, or disposable tissue. Wash your hands afterward.• Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.• Stay away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.• Follow guidance from public health officials.WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19?Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these are the symptoms you should watch out for:Fever or chills.Cough.Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.Fatigue.Muscle or body aches.Headache.New loss of taste or smell.Sore throat.Congestion or runny nose.Nausea or vomiting.Diarrhea.This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as they learn more about the virus.The CDC says to look for emergency warning signs for coronavirus. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:Trouble breathing.Persistent pain or pressure in the chest.New confusion.Inability to wake or stay awake.Bluish lips or face.This list is not all possible symptoms. Call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you. Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19.Who is most at risk for coronavirus?Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms of COVID-19, according to the CDC.Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from the virus.Flu or COVID-19: What’s the difference between them?Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. That’s when testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis.There are some key differences between flu and COVID-19. The CDC says it seems COVID-19 spreads more easily than flu and causes more serious illnesses in some people. It can also take longer before people show symptoms of COVID-19 and people can be contagious for a longer period of time than the flu.Another difference is there is a vaccine to protect against the flu. There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus.CALIFORNIA’S TRAVEL ADVISORYCalifornia’s latest travel advisory, as of April 2, says that the state’s Department of Public Health and the CDC recommend delayed travel until you are fully vaccinated. “Travel threatens to exacerbate community spread within and beyond California —particularly because travel itself (especially the use of shared conveyances in air, bus, or rail travel) can increase a person’s chance of spreading and getting COVID-19, including Sars-CoV2 variants of concern,” the advisory says. For people who are unvaccinated, the state recommends that Californians avoid non-essential travel out of the state, which includes tourism. Non-essential travelers from other states or countries are “strongly discouraged” from entering California and should get tested both one to three days before travel and again three to five days upon arrival at their destination. They should stay home and self-quarantine for seven days after travel, even if their test is negative, the state says. Non-essential travelers who are not fully vaccinated and don’t get tested should stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.OTHER RESOURCESCalifornia’s COVID-19 vaccine portalCalifornia’s COVID-19 portalCalifornia Department of Public HealthNevada CountyPlacer CountySacramento CountySan Joaquin CountyStanislaus CountyYolo CountyCenters for Disease Control and PreventionWorld Health Organization

CALIFORNIA CORONAVIRUS TIERS

Here is what you should know about the state’s reopening plans.

In mid-March 2020, when the novel coronavirus pandemic hit California, state officials shut down many industries or established restrictions in order to mitigate the spread of the virus. Since then, the state developed a reopening plan that impacts each county.

The plan is a four-tier color system for reopening the state. Counties move in and out of tiers based on their number of COVID-19 cases. Purple is the most restrictive, followed by red, orange and yellow, the least restrictive. Tier assignments may occur any day of the week and may occur more than once a week.

After reaching its goal of administering 4 million COVID-19 vaccine doses in March, the state changed its guidelines and made it easier for counties to move more quickly through tiers.

Gov. Newsom announced a target date of June 15 to fully reopen the economy and do away with the tier system. Doing so hinges on two criteria being met: If vaccine supply is sufficient for Californians 16 years and older who want the vaccine, and if hospitalization rates are stable and low.

California no longer will require social distancing and will allow full capacity for businesses when the state reopens on June 15, health officials said.

CASES BY COUNTY

Here is a breakdown of COVID-19 cases by county in Northern California.

NOTE: Maps below powered by data from Johns Hopkins University.

SCHOOL REOPENING STATUS

California launched interactive maps in February to show the status of school reopenings across California as many students and teachers neared the one-year mark of distance learning since the start of the pandemic.

The maps will display data from different school types, including school districts and charter and private schools, indicating status on reopening, safety planning and COVID-19 resources, the governor’s office said in a news release.

YOUTH SPORTS GUIDELINES

The State of California on Feb. 19, 2021, loosened guidelines for youth sports and community-sponsored programs, which include private clubs and leagues.

The new guidelines, effective Feb. 26, allow all outdoor sports to resume in counties where case rates are at or below 14 people per 100,000.

High-contact sports must test coaches and players 13 and older for COVID-19 once a week. Test results, which the state will pay for, must be available within 24 hours of competition.

The change allows outdoor high-contact sports to be played in some counties that are in purple or red tiers. Play was previously only allowed in orange tier counties.

WHO IS BEING INFECTED?

According to data from the California Department of Public Health, Latino and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander groups have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 relative to their population in the state. State data also shows that men generally have a higher number of COVID-19 related deaths relative to their population. When it comes to age, data shows that people 18-49 have a disproportionate number of cases. However, people 65 and older make up for a disproportionate number of deaths.

Have symptoms of COVID-19.
Have had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) with someone with confirmed COVID-19.
Have been asked or referred to get testing by their health care provider, local/external icon or state health department.

Here is where you can search for a testing site by address, city, county or ZIP code in California. For more information on testing, visit here.

The FDA has also approved a test for COVID-19 that you can take at home. The test kits are available for purchase on Amazon with a turnaround time for results of 24 to 72 hours after the sample is shipped and received.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

Here are six ways to protect yourself and family, according to the California Department of Public Health:

• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.

• Cover a cough or sneeze with your sleeve, or disposable tissue. Wash your hands afterward.

• Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.

• Stay away from work, school or other people if you become sick with respiratory symptoms like fever and cough.

• Follow guidance from public health officials.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19?

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these are the symptoms you should watch out for:

Fever or chills.
Cough.
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
Fatigue.
Muscle or body aches.
Headache.
New loss of taste or smell.
Sore throat.
Congestion or runny nose.
Nausea or vomiting.
Diarrhea.

This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as they learn more about the virus.

The CDC says to look for emergency warning signs for coronavirus. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:

Trouble breathing.
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest.
New confusion.
Inability to wake or stay awake.
Bluish lips or face.

This list is not all possible symptoms. Call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you. Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19.

Who is most at risk for coronavirus?

Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms of COVID-19, according to the CDC.

Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from the virus.

Flu or COVID-19: What’s the difference between them?

Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. That’s when testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis.

There are some key differences between flu and COVID-19. The CDC says it seems COVID-19 spreads more easily than flu and causes more serious illnesses in some people. It can also take longer before people show symptoms of COVID-19 and people can be contagious for a longer period of time than the flu.

Another difference is there is a vaccine to protect against the flu. There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus.

CALIFORNIA’S TRAVEL ADVISORY

California’s latest travel advisory, as of April 2, says that the state’s Department of Public Health and the CDC recommend delayed travel until you are fully vaccinated.

“Travel threatens to exacerbate community spread within and beyond California —particularly because travel itself (especially the use of shared conveyances in air, bus, or rail travel) can increase a person’s chance of spreading and getting COVID-19, including Sars-CoV2 variants of concern,” the advisory says.

For people who are unvaccinated, the state recommends that Californians avoid non-essential travel out of the state, which includes tourism.

Non-essential travelers from other states or countries are “strongly discouraged” from entering California and should get tested both one to three days before travel and again three to five days upon arrival at their destination. They should stay home and self-quarantine for seven days after travel, even if their test is negative, the state says.

Non-essential travelers who are not fully vaccinated and don’t get tested should stay home and self-quarantine for 10 days after travel.
