Napa County no longer appears on the state list COVID-19 watch



Wildfire Fighting Napa County is no longer listed on the state COVID-19 monitoring list, making it the first of nine Bay Area counties to come off the list because all were added during the month July.

The province was removed from the state-by-county chart on the watch list on Thursday, but still appeared on the main page of the watchlist with detailed explanations for why each province is on the list. As of Friday morning, Napa County has been removed from both, apparently confirming that the province is no longer subject to state-mandated business closures within, and local schools can reopen schools for 14 days from now.


Gavin Newsom of California said earlier that San Francisco County was “likely” to be off the watchlist this week, but the county on Thursday reactivated the case-per-capita and ICU bed capacity indicators. The fastest SF can get off the list is now Tuesday of new week after the two indicators were re-marked Friday.



The other seven provinces in the Bay Area have all marked different indicators, and none are particularly close to being below the 100-case-per-100,000-population threshold required to meet the business criteria.
