>>Now, restaurants, movie theaters and places of worship can resume indoor operations at 25% capacity, or 100 people, whichever is fewer.
Gyms, yoga studios, museums and others forced to operate outside can now open indoors – gyms and yoga studios at 10% capacity, museums at 25% capacity.
Piercing and tattoo parlors, which had been ordered shut, can reopen indoors with modifications, and grocery stores and other retailers can beef up their indoor capacities from one-quarter to half.
But other sectors such as bars, concert venues and theme parks must remain closed; employees at non-essential offices are to continue working from home.
And Orange County’s K-12 schools again are on track to reopen in two weeks, on Sept. 22. There had been initial confusion after the state unveiled its new tracking system about whether local schools could reopen this week, per a timeline set by the state’s now-defunct watch list.<<
