Southern California and San Joaquin Valley will enter a new stay-at-home order late Sunday night as the hospital’s intensive care unit capacity continues to decline and Covid-19 cases increase.
The regions will implement the new order at 11:59 pm on Sunday, the state has confirmed.
The new order, which will last at least three weeks, starts when the capacity of the intensive care unit in the area falls below 15%.
The Southern California area capacity was 12.5% as of Saturday and the San Joaquin Valley was 8.6%, according to figures released by the state.
The order will be felt throughout the region but more dramatically in suburban counties such as Orange, Ventura and Riverside, where Los Angeles County imposed its revised stay-at-home order a week ago with far fewer restrictions. The state includes the following countries in the Southern California region: Shahi, Inio, Los Angeles, Mono, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura.
Affected communities will be required to close personal service businesses, including hair and nail salons, playgrounds, zoos, museums, aquariums and wineries. Overnight, there will be a ban on short-term investments in campgrounds. Rest Restaurants Rents will only need to return to the withdrawal service.
Retailers will be limited to 20% of indoor customer capacity at any one time, with the need for store officials to make sure there is no drinking or eating indoors.
Unlike the Govern Gavin News released in the spring, most outdoor activities, including beach access and hiking, will not be affected. Like other state government regulations, the order allows local leaders to impose public health regulations that are stricter. But a stricter order by the state would remove a more unfair local order. This means that the expected execution of the order will be required in Southern California, for example, restaurants are currently allowed shutter outdoor dining in their local jurisdiction.
The new restrictions appear to bridge the gap between essential and nonsensical retail – with significant reductions in capacity among essential retailers, including supermarkets and drug stores. In most states, the capacity of essential stores is 50%; In LA County, they were %%%; And in Santa Clara County, 25%.
Cardrooms must be closed, and hotels will not be allowed to accept tourists.
Entertainment production and professional sports continue to be allowed without a live audience. However, Santa Clara County banned contact games Monday, forcing members of the San Francisco 49ers to temporarily relocate to Arizona for the team’s December games.
On Friday night, the California Department of Public Health released new figures showing that Southern California as well as San Joaquin Valley now face a severe shortage of ICU beds, with less than 15% of each capacity capacity. That number dropped further on Saturday.
As of Saturday, ICU capacity is currently available by region:
- Bay area: 21.7%
- Greater Sacramento Region: 21.4%
- Rural Northern California: 24.1%
- San Joaquin Valley: 8.6%
- Southern California: 12.5%
