Operative words
We have not met all the requirements for applying for Phase 2, but more importantly, our metrics are unreliable now because of the wildfires.... I know that businesses are experiencing unprecedented hardship and financial pressure from the COVID-19 closures, now combined with hazardous air caused by the wildfires. Hundreds of local businesses have already closed, and many more are struggling to stay afloat.... We are in a period of incredible uncertainty that is making us cautious about easing any restrictions.
Enforcement

Notes
The County's own words on the last month of the third quarter of 2020: 'COVID-19 closures' continuing; Phase 1 only. Also records wildfire disruption of testing and hospitals in September 2020.
