In addition, under the order capacity inside stores will be reduced, including grocery stores and other essential businesses. I deeply empathize and I have deep appreciation for the stress and the struggles our restaurants have had,” Newsom says, referring to his Plumpjack Group, in which he retains an ownership interest. When the order takes effect, Newsom says, all of that area’s bars and wineries must close down, although he did not explain if he was referring to venues that do not serve food (all of which have already shuttered in most California counties) or all places defined as bars.Īccording to the order’s FAQ page on the state’s website, restaurants in regions under the stay-at-home order “allow only for take-out, pick-up, or delivery,” which strongly suggests that all outdoor dining will be shut down. After that period, the order will be lifted only “when a region’s projected ICU capacity meets or exceeds 15%,” the state says on its website.

When the ICU capacity in a region drops below 15 percent, the stay-at-home order will kick in for at least three weeks, Newsom says. As part of the plan, California will be grouped into five regions: far Northern California, the greater Sacramento area, the Bay Area, the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California. Ī day after California saw its highest coronavirus infection rate ever, Governor Gavin Newsom announced drastic new steps to curb the spread of the virus, including regional stay-at-home orders for the areas worst hit by the pandemic that will, it appears, shut down all outdoor dining.Īt a Thursday press conference that was first scheduled for noon, then was delayed for 30 more minutes, Newsom said that the order would apply to regions in California where intensive care unit capacity is shrinking as a result of the increase in serious cases.
