On Monday, it is expected that California Governor Gavin Newsom will lift its stay-at-home orders which he imposed on most of the State back in December.
The hat tip comes via the California Restaurant Association who released a letter to its members that the Newsom administration will announce Monday the order will be lifted—currently, the order is imposed on regions with an ICU capacity under 15%.
Currently impacted are: Bay Area, Southern California, and San Joaquin Valley. Neither the Northern California or Sacramento regions are currently under the stay-at-home order.
This means that outdoor dining will likely return shortly. Which restaurants will you be supporting?
What does the Regional Stay at Home Order do?
The Regional Stay at Home Order would be in effect for 3 weeks after the trigger and instructs Californians to stay at home as much as possible to limit the mixing with other households that can lead to COVID-19 spread. It allows access to (including travel for) critical services and allows outdoor activities to preserve Californians’ physical and mental health. This limited closure will help stop the surge and prevent overwhelming regional ICU capacity.
In any region that triggers a Regional Stay at Home Order because it drops below 15 percent ICU capacity, all operations in the following sectors must be closed:
- Indoor and Outdoor Playgrounds
- Indoor Recreational Facilities
- Hair Salons and Barbershops
- Personal Care Services
- Museums, Zoos, and Aquariums
- Movie Theaters
- Wineries
- Bars, Breweries and Distilleries
- Family Entertainment Centers
- Cardrooms and Satellite Wagering
- Limited Services
- Live Audience Sports
- Amusement Parks
The following sectors will have additional modifications in addition to 100 percent masking and physical distancing:
- Outdoor Recreational Facilities: Allow outdoor operation only without any food, drink or alcohol sales. Additionally, overnight stays at campgrounds will not be permitted.
- Retail: Allow indoor operation at 20 percent capacity with entrance metering and no eating or drinking in the stores. Additionally, special hours should be instituted for seniors and others with chronic conditions or compromised immune systems.
- Shopping Centers: Allow indoor operation at 20 percent capacity with entrance metering and no eating or drinking in the stores. Additionally, special hours should be instituted for seniors and others with chronic conditions or compromised immune systems.
- Hotels and Lodging: Allow to open for critical infrastructure support only.
- Restaurants: Allow only for take-out or pick-up.
- Offices: Allow remote only except for critical infrastructure sectors where remote working is not possible.
- Places of Worship: Allow outdoor services only.
- Entertainment Production including Professional Sports: Allow operation without live audiences. Additionally, testing protocol and “bubbles” are highly encouraged.

I want to hit one a day which includes Harrys Wine Depot, Sip & Scoop Brentwood, Rubiano’s, Hannah Nicole Vineyards. A little bit of everything. Lets not forget a haircut.
Funny. This comes a week after Donald Trump leaves office and Joe Biden is president. I guess a lot can change in an entire week during a pandemic. People need to wake up and realize just how manufactured this virus is.
So do you actually get paid to write comments like this or are you just trolling for fun? Nobody is that stupid to actually believe what you wrote. Even majority of 45 voters aren’t that dumb
