Napa County Moves to Orange Reopening Tier
POSTED BY Joshua S. Devore
On Tuesday, October 20, Napa County was approved to move to the Orange, Moderate Risk Level reopening tier under California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. As a result, effective Wednesday, October 21, many businesses will be able to expand their activities under the Orange Tier guidelines.
Wineries will begin to be allowed indoor tasting, with capacity limited to 25% or 100 people, whichever is less.
Restaurants will be allowed to increase their inside dining capacity to 50% or 200 people, whichever is less.
Bars, breweries and distilleries that have not previously been allowed to open without food service will be allowed to reopen, though only for outside activities.
Information on other businesses and their allowed activities under different tiers is available at https://www.countyofnapa.org/2739/Coronavirus-COVID-19
Napa County is expected to issue additional specific local guidance on reopening requirements in advance of the official change to Orange Tier operations. Additional information from the County and answers to Frequently Asked Questions can be found on the County website.
