Butte County Public Health has moved from Tier 2 (red) to a less-restrictive Tier 3 (orange). This shift to the orange tier allows more businesses to reopen and some that are already open to increase capacity. This change in tiers is effective immediately for some business sectors in Butte County, according to BCPH.

Health officials said the current Butte County COVID-19 case rate is 3.5 cases per 100,000 residents with a 1.8% test positivity rate and a 1.4% health equity metric. Read more
