Gov. Newsom Orders Coronavirus Stay-At-Home Order Linked to ICU Bed Capacity

Gavin Newsom

On Thursday, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a regional stay-at-home order. He said that regional where the ICU bed capacity is falling below 15% will have a 3-week stay at home order.

Newsom stated the effects of Thanksgiving have not yet been felt and we will see that in a few weeks—calling it a surge on a surge.

“If we don’t act now, California’s hospital system will be overwhelmed and our death rate will continue to climb,” stated Newsom who said he was pulling the emergency brake.

Newsom called today’s order a regional approach based on 5-regions based on mutual aid—the Bay Area is anticipated to have its ICU capacity to fall below 15% by mid-late December while the rest of the state in early December.

 

What can stay open:

  • Schools w/ waiver
  • Critical infrastructure
  • Retail (20% capacity to reduce exposure)
  • Restaurants only for takeout/delivery

 

What must close:

  • Indoor/outdoor dining
  • Bars/wineries
  • Personal services/hair salons
  • Also statewide restriction on non-essential travel.

For those areas where the order starts today, three weeks from today is Christmas which is when it would end.

ICU actual capacity as of December 3, 2020 for the 5 regions:
  • 18.60% – Northern California
  • 25.30% – Bay Area
  • 22.20% – Greater Sacramento
  • 19.70% – San Joaquin
  • 20.60% – Southern California
Regional Stay Home Order:
The Regional Stay Home Order, announced December 3, 2020, will go into effect within 48 hours in regions with less than 15% ICU availability. It prohibits private gatherings of any size, closes sector operations except for critical infrastructure and retail, and requires 100% masking and physical distancing in all others.
The order will remain in effect for at least 3 weeks and, after that period, will be lifted when a region’s projected ICU capacity meets or exceeds 15%.

 

Today’s announcement comes after a Nov. 30 press conference where the Governor said he could issue a new stay at home order.

Back on November 19, Newsom issued a limited State Issued Limited Stay at Home Order to Slow Spread of COVID-19. Under that order, it was requiring generally that non-essential work, movement and gatherings stop between 10 PM and 5 AM in counties in the purple tier. The order will take effect at 10 PM Saturday, November 21 and remain in effect until 5 AM December 21. This is the same as the March Stay at Home Order, but applied only between 10 PM and 5 AM and only in purple tier counties that are seeing the highest rates of positive cases and hospitalizations.
