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.
- 18.60% – Northern California
- 25.30% – Bay Area
- 22.20% – Greater Sacramento
- 19.70% – San Joaquin
- 20.60% – Southern California
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.
