LOS ANGELES (CNS)—Again citing rising COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths over the past month, Gov. Gavin Newsom Dec. 3 announced plans for a “regional stay-at-home order” that will be implemented in areas running low on intensive care unit (ICU) beds and force the closures of some businesses.
The order would be triggered when ICU bed availability in a select region falls below 15 percent. Although no region met that criteria as of Dec. 3, Newsom said the Southern California region could meet it in a matter of days.
