We are now back to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy stage, which is a color-coding system of purple, red, orange and yellow. Purple is the highest risk of spreading COVID-19, which Los Angeles County is in.
County Supervisor Hilda Solis said, “[Los Angeles County] will essentially align with the state, by the end of the week, to allow for the reopening of permitted activities under the Purple Tier.”
This will allow private gatherings and certain businesses to operate with some restrictions on capacity. Restaurants are once again open for outdoor dining. Professional sports will continue to be played without live audiences. Bars, breweries, wineries, amusement parks, concert venues, and schools will remain closed.

These reopenings are happening amongst LA recording more than 5,000 coronavirus-related deaths in less than a month.
Newsom said that vaccinations are key to ending the pandemic.
