OC Moves to “Red Tier”, Some Businesses Cleared for Reopening

As of this morning, OC officially moved into the “Red Tier” of the newest Coronavirus Reopening Advisement Measurement that has been proclaimed by edict from Gavin Newsom under the Constitutional Suspension provided by the declared “State of Emergency”, where even peacefully assembling on ones own property is regulated and even banned by government.

Tiers and more information on this fabricated system which runs contrary to the “inalienable rights” of the Constitution and the 1st Amendment can be found here: https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/

Big changes the come with this new categorization proclamation are that many places can re-open to 25% capacity.  The places, specifically, are:

  • Restaurants
    • May re-open for indoor dining with modifications
    • Capacity must be limited to 25 percent or 100 people, whichever is less
  • Places of Worship
    • May re-open indoors with modifications
    • Indoor activities must be limited to 25 percent of capacity or 100 people, whichever is less
  • Shopping Centers
