Although the situation is quickly improving, San Diego County is still in the "widespread" Purple Tier, chiefly due to case rates. The state updates the Tier assignments each week. With sustained efforts on everyone's part, we can get to the less restrictive Red Tier very soon, which will mean modified indoor dining, indoor museums, and indoor gym availability.
