California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday plans to lift regional stay-at-home orders across the state – allowing restaurants to resume outdoor dining amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report.

Sources briefed on the governor’s plans told the Los Angeles Times that all counties will return to a colored tier system that assigns local risk levels based on the number of cases and positivity rates.

Most counties will go into the “widespread” risk tier, which allows hair salons to provide limited services indoors but restricts many other nonessential indoor business operations.

Some elected officials and the restaurant industry have fought in and out of court to overturn the highly controversial outdoor dining ban, according to the newspaper.

It was not immediately clear whether the action will lead to easing of stay-at-home rules in Los Angeles County, which has emerged as the national epicenter of the outbreak, the newspaper reported.
