SLO County could reopen more businesses soon
September 18, 2020
If San Luis Obispo County continues to maintain an average of 19.5 coronavirus cases or less a day for another four days, multiple businesses can either reopen or relax restrictions as the county moves from purple to the red tier.
In California’s red tier, nail salons, movie theaters and gyms can reopen. It also allows for indoor restaurant dining.
After two weeks in the red tier, school districts can reopen K-12 schools. Though in some counties, districts have elected to wait.
During the past four days, SLO County reported 81 new coronavirus cases. Paso Robles leads with 22 new cases, followed by San Luis Obispo with 17.
