SoCal Stay-At-Home Order Set To Be Extended
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Although it is scheduled to expire Monday, the Southern California regional stay-at-home order put in place in early December because of the alarming rise in coronavirus cases is likely to be extended.
The stay-at-home order bans nearly all private and public gatherings. It also bans restaurant dining, both indoor and outdoor. It first took effect on Dec. 7 and was scheduled to expire Monday.
The order, which applies to all 11 Southern California counties, is based on the number of ICU beds available. It was designed to take effect when a region’s ICU capacity drops below 15%.
Area hospitals have been at the breaking point for weeks, and Southern California’s ICU capacity currently sits at 0%.
