MONTEREY COUNTY: A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND VISIT!

MONTEREY COUNTY IS IN NOW IN THE RED TIER. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Monterey County is currently under California's Red Reopening Tier, which includes access to both indoor and outdoor offerings at a limited capacity. For some sectors it means a loosing of restrictions, offering expanded capacity; and for other sectors it means opening their doors for the first time in over a year.

Let's do our part to keep us in the red with the ability to move into orange and yellow in the future. This means continuing to wear your mask and maintaining the proper distance from others outside of your group. For a full look at what is open for your enjoyment, visit the state of California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
