California just lifted their stay at home order.
It was just announced that California health officials lifted the regional stay-at-home order for all areas statewide on Monday morning. This includes San Joaquin Valley, Southern California and the Bay Area where the ICU capacities still remain under 15%. According to health officials, they said that in the next four weeks, ICU capacity in the three regions was expected to reach above 15%.
The governor stated: "Each region's a little bit different, but we are in a position projected four weeks forward with a significant decline in the case rates positivity rates, we are anticipating decline," the governor said. "Still more decline hospitalizations and more declines in ICU, and that's why we're lifting that stay at home, order effective immediately."
Now, a majority of the state's counties are in the purple tier for California's color-coded tier system, which is less restrictive than the stay-at-home order but still requires non-essential businesses to close and restaurants to serve outdoors only.
