Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a media briefing Monday that strict stay-at-home orders issued by the state, which shuttered dine-in service and most other nonessential activities, will likely be extended beyond Dec. 28 for the Southern California region.

The order shutting down parts of the economy went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday, Dec. 7, and was set to last for at least three weeks. The order was put into place when the Southern California region—which includes counties from San Luis Obispo south to San Diego—dropped below 15% capacity in intensive care units.

It is not clear how long the order may be extended. The state has said it will stay in effect until the region’s projected ICU capacity four weeks out “is equal or greater than 15%.”

ICU capacity in the Southern California region is now zero, and has been since Dec. 17.

Hospitals in Long Beach and across the region are faced with a deluge of sick patients, and continued heavy caseloads, due to COVID-19.

The governor said the stay-at-home order is also likely to be extended for the San Joaquin region, which also has zero capacity in its ICUs. The only portion of the state not under the stricter order is Northern California.
