Purple Tier Status
Posted By dstgeorge on November 17, 2020
As of November 16, 2020, all of Southern California is now in the most restrictive Purple Tier. Here is a summary of Purple Tier Restrictions for your reference. Please refer to CA COVID Industry Guidance for more information. https://covid19.ca.gov/industry-guidance/
Pools: Indoor swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas and steams rooms must remain closed. Outdoor swimming pools may operate in accordance with the guidelines contained in the State’s “COVID-19 INDUSTRY GUIDANCE: Fitness Facilities” which includes specific “additional considerations” for operating “communal restrooms, shower facilities, swimming pools and aquatic venues.”
Hot Tubs: Outdoor hot tubs may now be open as long as they are used only by a single household group at a time, or where six feet of social distancing can be maintained. Be sure to follow the Industry Guidance for pools, referenced above.
Gyms: Where before under Red Status you could operate indoors with modifications and capacity of 10%, now under Purple Status you can operate outdoors only. Outdoor operations may be conducted under a tent, canopy, or other sun shelter so long as no more than one side is closed, allowing sufficient outdoor air movement. In addition, you must follow the State’s “COVID 19 INDUSTRY GUIDANCE: Fitness Facilities,” post a “COVID-19 General Checklist for Fitness Facilities” and meet any local city guidelines.
Playgrounds and Golf Courses: Outdoor playgrounds can open with modifications. Be sure to follow the State’s Sept 28, 2020 correspondence regarding “Outdoor Playgrounds and other Outdoor Recreational Facilities.”
Clubhouses, Restaurants and Bars: Where before under Red Status you could operate restaurants indoors with modifications and capacity was required to be limited to the lesser of 25% or 100 people, now under Purple Status you can only operate the restaurant outdoors with modifications. In addition, you must follow the State’s “COVID-19 INDUSTRY GUIDANCE: Restaurants, Bars, and Wineries” and along with all local guidelines. Bars and wineries (serving no food) regrettably remain closed.
