It's been over a year since the mandatory lockdown was placed in SLO County, and it has, for most, one of the most challenging years of their lives. We are starting to see a possible light at the end of the tunnel. SLO County is currently on Red Tier, and some of the non-essential indoor business operations are closed. According to the SLO County website, the following changes have been made to the restrictions as of March 3, 2021. *Information is taken from emergencyslo.org
