Southern California Region ICU Capacity Drops To 1.7% As State Starts Vaccine Distribution
The ICU capacity in Southern California has dropped to 1.7% as the state begins the COVID-19 vaccine distribution.

When first reported on Dec. 3, the Southern California ICU capacity was about 20%, dropping below the 15% threshold a few days later, prompting the state’s stay-at-home order.
