FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 12, 2021
Regional Stay at Home Order is Lifted for the Greater Sacramento Region,
includes Butte County
BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. –As of Tuesday, January 12, 2021, the Greater Sacramento
Region, which includes Butte county, ICU bed capacity four-week projection exceeds 15%,
ending the Regional Stay at Home Order (RSAHO), effective immediately.
On December 10, 2020, the Greater Sacramento Region was placed under the RSAHO,
which was directed to be in place for a minimum of 21 days. After the 21 day period, the
region’s four week ICU bed capacity was projected on a regular basis.
With the lift of the RSAHO, it is important to note that the Blueprint for a Safer Economy’s
tier based system is still in place. There are four tiers that determine which businesses and
activities may be open based on case rate and test positivity rate.
Butte County is in the Purple Tier (Widespread or Tier 1). As a reminder, Tier 1, or the
purple tier, is the most restrictive tier and requires most businesses and activities to modify
operations for outdoors only. The case rate and test positivity rate for Butte County are
updated on a weekly basis. To learn what can remain open in Tier 1, the public can visit the
State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy: covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/
Additionally, the State’s Limited Stay at Home Order (LSAHO) is still in effect for all
Counties in the Purple Tier. The LSAHO places a 10pm-5am curfew on all individuals in the
Purple Tier, with limited exceptions. The LSAHO is in effect until the RSAHO has
terminated in all Regions of the State.
With this move in the right direction, we thank those who are working hard to reduce the
spread of COVID-19, which protects our healthcare system. We ask residents to keep
doing all they can to prevent the virus by:
Wear a face covering when in public
Keep at least six feet away from others
Wash your hands often
Don’t mix with people who don’t live in your household
Stay home if you are sick
