The week started out Monday with Napa County reporting 46 additional COVID-19 cases since Friday’s report.
This number is nearly as high as the initial case count last week and higher than case totals for three successive Mondays before that.
On Tuesday, Napa County expects to find out if local pandemic numbers are low enough for the county to go from red tier to orange tier on the state’s plan for restoring business and community activities. Orange would allow more indoor activities and greater indoor occupancy.
