Effective at 12:01 a.m. on June 2, Ventura County moved into the Yellow
Tier, the least restrictive tier in California’s roadmap to recovery. Ventura
County’s adjusted case rate improv ed from 1.5 new cases per 100,000
people to 1.2 with overall test positivity rate remaining at 0.7%, and in
health equity areas the test positivity rate dropped from 1.4% to 1.1%.
Currently, 66% of the County aged 12+ have received at least one dose
and 54% of the those 12 and older are fully vaccinated.
Also on the vaccination front, Moorpark Unified School District partnered
with Ventura County Public Health to offer a walk -up/drive to "pop-up"
COVID-19 vaccine clinic on June 1 at Chaparral Middle School from
12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. open to anyone in the community with those
families with children aged 12 and up specifically targeted to be
vaccinated. A second “pop-up” event will be held at Chapparal in the
coming weeks (at least 21 days) for second shots.
Moving into the Yellow Tier allows for increases in capacity in many
sectors and will also allow bars to begin providing indoor service at 25%
capacity. Sectors with increases in capacity limits include amusement
parks and fairs, gyms and fitness centers, yoga studios, private e vents,
bars, hotels and short-term lodging rentals, private gatherings, breweries,
indoor playgrounds, restaurants, cardrooms and racetracks, indoor and
outdoor live events and performances, wineries and tasting rooms, family
entertainment centers, and museums, zoos, and aquariums.
Ventura County made the shift to the Yellow Tier two weeks in advance of
Governor Newsom’s June 15 re-opening date, which he has signaled will
be an end of the current color-coded tier system. It is unclear exactly what
the plans are for after June 15 and further updates will be provided as
information becomes available.
