California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced he was imposing a curfew on most of the state because of an increase in COVID-19 cases.

“Non-essential work and gatherings must stop from 10pm-5am in counties in the purple tier,” the Democrat said in a statement, referring to a color scheme state officials are using to depict the risk level for each county.
