Culver City Officially Moves to Yellow Tier

As of May 6, 2021, Los Angeles County has met the threshold for the least restrictive Yellow Tier in the State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Yesterday, the State released updated blueprint tier numbers; LA County’s adjusted case rate dropped from 1.9 new cases per 100,000 people to 1.6 new cases per 100,000. The overall test positivity rate dropped from 0.9% to 0.7%, and in areas with the fewest health affirming resources, LA County’s test positivity rate dropped from 1.0% to 0.8%.

Vaccinations are widely available to those 16 years and older, but most people in LA County are still not fully vaccinated and remain susceptible to infection. It is vitally important that a very high percentage of LA County residents become fully vaccinated as soon as possible before new variants of the virus are allowed to spread widely. Variants have mutations that cause the virus to act differently and in ways that are significant to public health. For example, some variants may cause more severe disease, spread more easily, require different treatments, or change the effectiveness of current vaccines. Please remember, just because certain activities are allowed or certain reopening protocols are revised does not mean that those activities are safe and without risk.

The revised Los Angeles County Health Officer Order will go into effect today, May 6, to reflect newly permitted activities. The modifications to the Health Officer Order include the following:
