Hair Salons, barber shops, and malls allowed to reopen in Sonoma County Based on new 4 tier system
Barber shops, hair salons and malls in Sonoma County will be allowed to resume indoor operations with modifications on Monday due to revised health orders issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday and confirmed by Sonoma County Public Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase.
A new four-tiered structure for re-opening
The reopening of these operations coincides with the launching of a new four-tiered structure for determining how each of the stateās 58 counties is doing in slowing the spread of the coronavirus and the extent to which businesses and other activities will be allowed due to the pandemic. Under the new framework, titled Blueprint for a Safer Economy, each county has been grouped into one of four colored tiers ā Purple (Widespread), Red (Substantial), Orange (Moderate) and Yellow (Minimal) ā based on the prevalence of COVID-19 is in the county and the rate of community spread. Sonoma County is one of 38 counties that will start in the purple tier.
Gov. Newsom on Friday announced that the state is replacing the county monitoring list with a new color-coded list that includes four categories that will guide when businesses can reopen and schools can offer in-person instruction. The new county list, which goes into effect on Monday Aug. 31, includes four colors (purple, red, orange and yellow) based on the number of new Covid-19 cases reported each day, as well as the percentage of positive test results for the virus. Currently, 38 out of 58 counties are ranked purple, indicating that the virus is most āwidespreadā in those counties.

Blueprint Framework
The new state directive creating the Blueprint framework replaces a July 13 State Order that had placed Sonoma County on the state monitoring list and prohibited activities such as indoor operations at restaurants, gyms and museums. Those restrictions will remain in place with the exception of barber shops, hair salons and malls, which will be allowed to reopen under detailed modifications to limit the spread of the virus. For example, malls will not be allowed to open food courts or common areas and must limit capacity to 25 percent of normal operations.
Dr. Sundari Mase confirmed the adoption of the stateās order over the weekend after reviewing the stateās new framework and the data to better understand the risk in Sonoma County.
āWe feel comfortable in opening up this sector of our economy as the data show weāve had only a handful of cases from indoor salons,ā said Dr. Mase. āBut we still have a ways to go before we will be able to move to the next tier and allow more activities to reopen under the stateās blueprint.ā
The stateās new framework focuses primarily on two metrics: the number of new cases per 100,000 residents per day (based on a seven day average with seven day lag) in each county and the percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive. Counties must remain in each tier for a minimum of 21 days before being eligible to move to the next level.
Residents are encouraged to go to covid19.ca.gov to track where Sonoma County and other counties stand and what activities are allowed.
