This week, California is the only state with "moderate" or "yellow" status from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) due to COVID transmission. However, on Tuesday afternoon, the state returned to the orange zone, indicating a widespread. The orange alert included the states of Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, and Louisiana, in addition to the rest of the country. More than 100 new cases per 100,000 people in most other states during the past week, indicating "high" transmission. According to the San Francisco Gate News, using the most recent data, the CDC's pandemic tracker assesses the severity of the COVID pandemic across the country. California often falls behind in providing weekend data, so the Monday map is highly unreliable. The California Department of Public Health told SFGate that there is a data issue with the CDC COVID Data Tracker that CDPH is aware of and is working with CDC to resolve. "For part of Mondays and Tuesdays for the last several weeks, CDC has shown California as being in the "yellow/moderate transmission" category and then has switched to show California as in the "orange/substantial transmission" category later on Tuesday. This problem appears to be linked to California's five-day/week reporting cadence. CDC has notified CDPH that they will be implementing a change in their system to accommodate the CDPH reporting cadence," CDPH stated, as quoted in the report. COVID-19 Vaccines Reach Poorer Countries. Eight Counties Around Bay Area in Yellow Status Most indoor mask mandates will be dropped in the eight Bay Area counties that agreed to a common set of criteria, except Solano. SFist News reported that among the requirements are being in the CDC's yellow alert zone for three weeks in a row and having at least 80% of the population fully immunized. Only Marin County appears to meet these requirements shortly. For places like gyms, college classes, and religious gatherings, the city of San Francisco recently loosened its mask mandate. The state mandates public transportation, taxis, rideshares, and other modes of transportation While the number of cases has steadily declined, signs of the following winter's outbreak appear in northern U.S. states as temperatures drop and people seek adequate shelter. Recently, claims have risen in the northernmost states of the country.

CDC’s COVID Data Tracker Puts California in Orange Tier

California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a drought emergency on Tuesday evening, as the state got the record as the second driest year ever. According to The Hill News, Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, and Ventura counties were previously exempt from emergency. Still, those counties are now included in the governor's proclamation. The Governor's Office stated that with the possibility of a third consecutive year of drought, the extended proclamation now needs local water supplies to implement water scarcity contingency plans that reflect local conditions, as stated in the report. Governor Gavin Newsom Bans Gas-Powered Lawn Equipment Conserving Water According to the proclamation noted above, the State Water Resources Control Board may adopt emergency regulations to prevent water wastage, such as hosing down sidewalks or driveways or cleaning a car without a shutoff nozzle. CalMatters reported that after being declared drought-stricken for the first time in April, the North Coast saw the most significant drops in household water use compared to last year's August, dropping by 18.3%. As conservation numbers dropped, the San Francisco Bay Area conserved nearly 10% more water than last August. "Those numbers are a little bit misleading, frankly. Looking at one month, in one year, compared to the same exact month in the current year, it's really not a true measure of what the efforts in the city have been," Director of Water Resources at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power said, as quoted in the report. Meanwhile, more than half of California's population lives along the South Coast, where water use was down 3.1% in August compared to the same month in 2020. While this still falls short of Newsom's goal, it was a vast improvement over July's water use reduction at 0.1%, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. 2021 as a second driest year At this point in time, nearly 88 percent of California is either experiencing extreme drought or something even worse than that. Storage levels in California's major reservoirs were at or below average by the end of September. Northern and central California is expected to see rain and high-elevation snow through the end of October. However, even if all of these storms come together, they will not be sufficient to end the state's drought.
