State officials announced that Fresno County can move into the Orange tier on Wednesday — great news for businesses such as restaurants and entertainment venues under COVID-19 restrictions.
Under the orange tier, restaurants can open indoors at 50% capacity. Movie theaters can also open at 50% capacity, and gyms can now have 25% capacity.
Kings County joined Fresno in moving into the less restrictive COVID-19 tier. But Madera and Merced counties remained in the red tier. Tulare and Mariposa counties previously dropped to orange.
