Business Owners Fear California’s Second Lockdown Could Be Last Straw
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—California’s second lockdown has been implemented for parts of the state.
Starting Dec. 5, all forms of restaurant dining were closed except for takeout. This includes bars and wineries. Personal care services like hair salons and barbers will also close.
Private gatherings are prohibited, and retail may operate at only 20 percent capacity. The lockdown will last until Jan. 4 next year.
The order is triggered in each region after ICU bed capacity drops to 15 percent in that region.
Businesses have been struggling to stay open, but now some say this could be the last straw.
