The Kern County Health Dept responds:

Looking at their County Dashboard:
https://kernpublichealth.com/covid-19_dashboard/
They have had a low positive percentage of just under 8% and appear to be very much on their down slope and their peak being about 3 weeks ago.
I could see why they feel being to relax some of the restrictions is in order. I would have to listen to their PC again to see if they were trying to speak of things locally in their community or State/Nation wide policy.
