As of Tuesday, June 1, SLO County's case rate is 1.5 cases per 100,000 people and the positivity rate is 0.7%. While those metrics meet yellow tier requirements, SLO County remains in the orange tier because a county must meet the criteria for a less-restrictive tier for the prior two weeks before progressing to the next tier.
