On Monday 300 new cases were reported. Kern County is among 41 of California’s 58 counties to go back into Purple Tier restrictions to try to stop the spread.

Governor Newsom announced that as of today, Tuesday, in-restaurant dining will stop once again, with only take-out allowed until the surge is flattened. See The Mountain Enterprise on news stands now to see a list of area restaurants and their telephone numbers for take-out ordering.
