Main Street News: About Today’s Purple Tier Announcement

This afternoon, Contra Costa Health Services announced that our county is moving back into the Purple Tier in accordance to the State of California’s action to restore safety measures to protect the public and save lives during the pandemic.

The return to the purple tier of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy comes with some additional requirements for businesses and community activities not imposed in Contra Costa since summer.

We have updated our Community Resource Directory with this announcement and we join health officials in urging everyone to do their part to prevent unnecessary illness and death in our community:

Stay in Place as much as possible and do not go out if you are ill
Maintain your Space at least 6 feet
Cover your Face nose and mouth with a mask or bandana
Wash your Hands often and for at least 20 seconds with soap & warm water
Gather Safely outdoors, wearing a mask, and only with folks from your social pod
Get Tested it’s free! Learn more
