Last year, California introduced a four-tier, color-coded system based on coronavirus conditions in each of the state’s 58 counties.
When it was first launched, approximately 94% of the California population was below the most restrictive violet level. As of March 2, 40 counties were in the purple level; 16 counties were at the red level; and two were at the orange level.
As conditions improve and vaccinations continue, more counties are preparing to move out of the purple and orange levels to less restrictive reds, oranges and yellows.
The following map shows that each county is within the system by levels as of March 2nd. Updates are usually posted on Tuesdays.
