Marin County has moved from the Red tier to the less restrictive Orange tier, the California Department of Public Health announced. This means the state allows Marin an increase to 50% capacity at places of worship, restaurants, museums and zoos and movie theaters. Gyms can operate at 25% capacity. 

The primary changes allowed under the state order as Marin moves into tier 3:

  • Retail & grocery stores: can expand indoor capacity to 100%.
  • Restaurants – indoor dining: can expand indoor capacity to 50% or 200 people (whichever is fewer).

  • Houses of worship: can expand indoor capacity to 50% or 200 people (whichever is fewer).
  • Weddings/funerals: can expand indoor capacity to 50% or 200 people (whichever is fewer).
  • Family recreation / entertainment facilities: can expand indoor capacity to 25%. 
  • Gyms & fitness studios: can expand indoor capacity to 25% and reopen indoor pools. 
  • Breweries/wineries that do not serve food: can expand indoor capacity to 25% or 100 people (whichever is fewer).
  • Bars that do not serve food: can operate outdoors only.
  • Non-essential offices may reopen (but working remotely is still encouraged).
