Gov. Gavin Newsom has issued a new regional stay-at-home order due to rising cases of the coronavirus, along with dramatic increases in ICUs and hospitalizations in California.
The stay at home order, which he says would be in effect for 3 weeks, will take affect when a region's capacity in intensive care units falls below 15%. The governor's new order divides the state into five regions including Southern California.
Newsom says none of the regions currently meet the threshold for the new rules but he says that when they do, the state will order the counties in the regions to close hair salons and barber shops, limit retail stores to 20% capacity and allow restaurants to offer only take-out and delivery.
Gov Newsom says the stay at home order also includes a restriction on non-essential travel.
