Last August, California started using a color-coded risk level assessment to determine a county’s reopening status. Indoor and outdoor businesses, like restaurants and gyms, that are allowed to reopen depend on the county’s risk level, classified as “widespread” (purple), “substantial” (red), “moderate” (orange), or “minimal” (yellow).

As vaccination rates increase, the Bay Area is starting to reopen indoor businesses for the first time since last March. Currently, San Francisco County is in the least-restrictive yellow tier, while most other Bay Area counties are in the orange. Below you’ll find information about reopening dates, and what’s open for dine-in, broken down by county. We’ll be updating it as we get more information, so keep checking back.
