Businesses in two of California's largest counties will be able to reopen with fewer restrictions starting Monday.

Los Angeles County and Orange County have moved into a less restrictive tier of the state's reopening plan. Indoor dining and theaters will open at 25% capacity and retail businesses at 50%. Gyms and fitness centers can open indoors at 10%.

The state allowed Los Angeles County to make the move after 2 million vaccine doses were administered in vulnerable communities.
