Gov. Newsom said today that he estimates our region's collective ICU availability will fall below 15% in early December.

So what does that mean.
48 hours after our ICU availability falls below the threshold, our region will be required to abide by the new Regional Stay At Home Order rules. Those rules will have to remain in effect for at least 3 weeks.
After that period, the order will be lifted when our region’s ICU capacity meets or exceeds 15%.
Here are the sectors that must close during the new order:
- Indoor/outdoor playgrounds
- Indoor recreational facilities
- Hair salons and barbershops
- Personal care services
- Museums, zoos, and aquariums
- Movie theaters
- Wineries
- Bars, breweries, and distilleries
