Alameda County Moves to Orange COVID-19 Level

Alameda County is now in the Orange Tier of the State's color-coded 4-tier blueprint for reopening. However, until further notice, there are no Orange Tier activities permitted in Alameda County. Being in the Orange Tier means that the transmission rate for COVID-19 is moderate. Where we rank is based on our case rates, test positivity rate, and a health equity metric, which means that the test positivity rate in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods doesn't significantly lag behind the County's total positivity rate.

Statewide, there are 6.8 new cases per day per 100,000 people and a test positivity rate of 3.4%. Here in Alameda County, we have 2.9 new cases per day per 100,000 people and a 1.5% test positivity rate.

Alameda County is preparing to update its local Health Officer Orders to permit additional activities during the week of October 26, including:

  • Indoor dining up to 25% capacity or less than 100 people
  • Indoor worship services up to 25% capacity or less than 100 people
  • Indoor theaters up to 25% capacity or less than 100 people
  • Expansion of indoor retail and malls at up to 50% of capacity and permitting limited indoor food courts
