"Our intensive care units are filling up fast. Our mortality rate is increasing. To stop the resurgence of #COVID19 and thus save lives, California is announcing a Regional Home Confinement Order," said California Governor Gavin Newsom.
And that's because, he points, "regions where the capacity of the intensive care units is less than 15%" of their capacity, will enter such confinement for the next three weeks". However, he points out that no region has been required to enter this new confinement order.
He recalled that, if this order is implemented, it is a temporary measure. "Hope is coming. Relief - from the pandemic - is coming." He recalled that the first doses of the first vaccines will be available in the coming weeks.
Through his Twitter account, the governor of California indicated that the economic sectors that will remain open in the regions where the new confinement order applies include only schools that have already reopened, critical infrastructure, retail - taking care of the 20% of maximum capacity - and restaurants that only offer take-out.
The businesses to be closed during the next three weeks in the regions designated for the new containment order will be bars, warehouses, personal and aesthetic services.
All non-essential travel is temporarily restricted throughout the state of California during the implementation of the new confinement order.
The governor added the importance of being as physically active as possible and virtually connected. He recommended going out to parks or beaches. Go for a walk or bike ride. Fishing, yoga, walking the pets, taking outdoor fitness classes, running, skiing or, instead, snowboard.
