SACRAMENTO – As COVID-19 case rates and hospitalizations continue to rise at an alarming pace and threaten to overwhelm the health care delivery system, California health officials today announced a Regional Stay at Home Order that will be triggered if Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity drops below 15 percent in a given region.

New order is a modification of the state’s initial Stay at Home Order signed in March and builds on the Blueprint for a Safer Economy Schools currently open can remain open and retailers can operate indoors at no more than 20 percent capacity to reduce exposure risk Regional Stay at Home Orders will require Californians to stay at home as much as possible, close operations for certain sectors and require 100 percent masking and physical distancing in all others Regional Stay at Home Order takes effect Saturday affects regions with less than 15 percent ICU availability Health officials are tracking the state by five regions: Northern California, Bay Area, Greater Sacramento, San Joaquin Valley and Southern California
