As of Jan. 25, the second regional stay-at-home order was lifted, and Sonoma County was categorized in the purple tier. For Rohnert Park, this could provide businesses with the opportunity to slowly reopen and boost economic activity.

Within the purple tier, businesses like wineries and restaurants, among others, “are permitted to operate only outdoors with modifications,” according to Daniel Virkstis, Public Affairs Program Manager for Sonoma County Transportation and Public Works, Paul Gullixson, Communications Manager for Sonoma County.
