Last week the California Department of Public Health provided clearance for Los Angeles Dodgers fans to attend games at Dodger Stadium by Opening Day of the 2021 regular season.
Under the state’s color-coded tier system, L.A. County is currently in the purple tier, meaning there are 9.6 new positive coronavirus (COVID-19) cases per 100,000 residents.
If this holds, the Dodgers would not be able to sell concessions or admit more than 100 fans for their home opener against the Washington Nationals on April 9.
However, there is optimism that L.A. County will soon move into the red tier (four to seven new cases per 100,000 residents), having already satisfied two of the three criteria.
