California health officials have lifted the regional stay-at-home order for all areas statewide, including Southern California, where ICU capacity still remains under 15%. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything will be fully opening back up again.

In a press release, health officials said the four-week projection for ICU capacity in the SoCal region was expected to reach above 15%.

The lifting of the order means limits on non-essential activities between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. have now expired. It also means that the state will be returning to the four-tier reopening system.

With the exception of four counties in Central and Northern California, all others, including every county in Southern California, will remain in the purple tier. That allows outdoor dining, salons and other businesses to reopen with modifications.

However, individual counties still have the authority to set their own restrictions, and some may decide to keep some of the governor's orders in place as they see necessary.

"Now that Governor Newsom has lifted the statewide stay-at-home order, the question is what is L.A. County going to do? We should align ourselves with the state as much as possible which means, among other things, reopening outdoor dining with commonsense health protocols in place as soon as possible. The restaurant industry was devastated by this lengthy shutdown and I know this would be welcome news to them," county Supervisor Janice Hahn said in a statement.

As a reminder, here's what businesses are and aren't allowed to reopen, whether they can open indoors or outdoors, and at what capacity they can operate within the purple tier:

• Hair salons: open indoors with modifications
• Retail: open indoors at 25% capacity
• Malls: open indoors at 25% capacity and food courts closed
• Nail salons: open indoors with modifications
• Electrolysis: open indoors with modifications
• Personal care services (body waxing, etc.): open indoor with modifications
• Tattooing and piercing: open indoors with modifications
• Museums, zoos and aquariums: outdoor only
• Places of worship: outdoor only
• Movie theaters: outdoor only
• Hotels: open with modifications
• Gyms: outdoor only
• Restaurants: outdoor only
• Wineries: outdoor only
• Bars and breweries: closed
• Family entertainment centers: outdoor only, like mini golf, batting cages and go-kart racing
• Cardrooms: outdoor only
• Non-essential offices: remote work only
• Professional sports: no live audiences
• Schools: must stay closed
