The California Department of Public Health has updated its guidance and new business sectors will soon be allowed to open in the purple and red tiers.
Starting on Saturday, breweries, wineries, and distilleries that do not serve food will be allowed to reopen outdoors with modifications in the purple and red tiers. Reservations will be required and customers will have a 90-minute time limit. Service on-site must end by 8 p.m.
In the orange tier, counties can allow for indoor operations at 25% capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer. In the yellow tier, capacity goes up to 50% or 200 people, whichever is fewer.
Bars that do not provide meals are not covered in this new guidance. Right now they are closed, but will be able to re-open outdoors in the Orange Tier, and with limited capacity indoors in the Yellow Tier.
