You should ask for help from friends, family, neighbors, community health workers, etc. if you become sick. “It is also important that older adults and those at elevated risk of serious illness from COVID-19 take immediate steps to reduce their risk. This includes staying at home as much as possible and practicing social distancing,” said Governor Newsom.
This order focuses on preventing the spread of COVID-19 among the prison staff and inmate population by suspending intake for adult and juvenile detention facilities, and allowing videoconference to be used in-lieu of in-person parole hearings.

"Californians heard the urgent message to stay home as much as possible and accepted that challenge to slow the surge and save lives," said Dr. Tomás Aragón, CDPH director and state public health officer. "Together, we changed our activities knowing our short-term sacrifices would lead to longer-term gains. COVID-19 is still here and still deadly, so our work is not over, but it's important to recognize our collective actions saved lives and we are turning a critical corner." Early last year, the state developed a system of color-coded tiers that dictated the level of restrictions on businesses and individuals based on virus conditions in each of California's 58 counties. Most counties will now go back to the most restrictive purple tier, which allows for outdoor dining, hair and nail salons to be open, and outdoor church services. The Health and Human Services Agency, in consultation with counties and labor organization and consumers, shall leverage existing services and programs to support home isolation of vulnerable Californians, including seniors and those with serious chronic underlying health conditions.
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today took action to lift pandemic executive orders as the state movesBeyond the Blueprintnext week to fully, safely reopen. That includes terminating the Stay-at-Home Order that was implemented early in the pandemic to protect Californians and retiring the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Effective June 15, restrictions such as physical distancing, capacity limits and the county tier system will end. Nearly all the counties exiting the Regional Stay at Home Order today are in the Purple or widespread tier. Services and activities, such as outdoor dining and personal services, may resume immediately with required modifications, subject to any additional restrictions required by local jurisdictions.

One county supervisor in Los Angeles, home to 10 million people, expressed support for opening more businesses in the country. Republican Supervisor Kathryn Barger said the state must balance public health with "devastating social, emotional and economic impacts of this virus." On Monday, the state pulled an emergency brake in theBlueprint for a Safer Economyputting more than 94 percent of California’s population in the most restrictive tier.
Northern California is the only one of the five state hospital regions avoiding the order. SACRAMENTO -- California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly on Tuesday announced the stay-at-home order for most of the state would remain in place as ICU capacity is still at or near zero in the affected regions. SACRAMENTO – Officials with the California Department of Public Health today ended the Regional Stay at Home Order, lifting the order for all regions statewide, including the three regions that had still been under the order – San Joaquin Valley, Bay Area and Southern California. Four-week ICU capacity projections for these three regions are above 15%, the threshold that allows regions to exit the order.
COVID Order: Bay Area Stay-At-Home Order Remains For Now; Post-Holiday Surge May Be Less Severe
The Sacramento Region exited the order on January 12 and the Northern California region never entered the order. As of the weekend, California has had more than 3.1 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and 36,790 deaths, according to the state's public health website. "I support following the Governor's recommended guidelines for Southern California, and reopening outdoor dining, personal care services and other industries that were previously closed by these orders," she said. During the weekend, San Francisco Bay Area ICU capacity surged to 23% while the San Joaquin Valley increased to 1.3%, its first time above zero.
The county-by-county tier system uses various metrics to determine the risk of community transmission and apply a color code - purple, red, orange or yellow - which correspond to widespread, substantial, moderate and minimal, respectively. The decision comes with improving trends in the rate of infections, hospitalizations and intensive care unit capacity as well as vaccinations. See the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance regarding the prevention of disease in homes and residential communities.

The huge Southern California region, the most populous, remains at zero ICU capacity. "We are in a position, projecting four weeks forward, with a significant decline in the case rates, positivity rates, we are anticipating decline still more decline in hospitalizations and more declines in ICUs and that's why we are lifting that stay-at-home order effective immediately today," he said. Late last week, the stateissued a travel advisory, along with Oregon and Washington, urging people entering the state or returning home from travel outside the state to self-quarantine to slow the spread of the virus.
The state will reassess data continuously and move more counties back into a more restrictive tier, if necessary. California is also strengthening itsface covering guidanceto require individuals to wear a mask whenever outside their home, with limited exceptions. This limited Stay at Home Order is designed to reduce opportunities for disease transmission. For routine medical care, contact your health care provider to discuss rescheduling. On Monday, Governor Gavin Newsom indicated the stay-at-home orders would likely remain in place in the Bay Area, Greater Sacramento, San Joaquin Valley and Southern California regions.
Regions will remain in the Regional Stay at Home Order status for at least three weeks once triggered. Counties are eligible to come off the Regional Stay at Home Order after three weeks if their hospital ICU capacity projected four weeks out reaches 15 percent. Counties will return to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy tier determined by their case rate and test positivity after they are eligible to exit the Regional Stay at Home Order.

Today the California Department of Public Health released anew state public health officer orderthat goes into effect on June 15. The action supports the full and safe reopening of the state, while maintaining focused public health requirements that address the risk posed by variants as some regions across the nation and world continue to experience high levels of transmission. "California is slowly starting to emerge from the most dangerous surge of this pandemic yet, which is the light at the end of the tunnel we've been hoping for," said California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly.
A subset of provisions that facilitate the ongoing recovery – such as the provision allowing pharmacy technicians to administer vaccinations as the state continues to vaccinate millions of eligible Californians every week – will remain in place. The administration of vaccines to health care workers has meant that fewer health care workers are falling ill to the virus, which helps keep staffing levels more stable. The Regional Stay at Home Order urged Californians to stay home except for essential activities, which helped lower disease transmission levels and reduce burden on the hospital system.
