County of Ventura Moves Back to Purple Tier

The State of California announced yesterday that the County of Ventura would move back to Tier 1 – the Purple Tier, joining 40 other counties, after the daily case rate doubled in the last ten days. Governor Newsom “pulled the emergency brake” after the State experienced the fastest increase in cases since the beginning of the pandemic. These changes will go into effect at midnight on November 17, 2020.
