What to Know
California s statewide Regional Stay-at-Home Order has ended, but restrictions remains in place based on conditions in each county.
The order, which began Dec. 6, was lifted after some signs that parts of California are slowly emerging from the most intense stage of the pandemic.
In Los Angeles County, the state’s most populous, the test positivity rate has plummeted 39% over the past three weeks, health officials say.
California s Regional Stay-at-Home order was lifted Monday for all regions, including Southern California, the state s public health department said.
Gov. Gavin Newsom was expected to make an announcement later Monday at a news conference about the end of the order. The move means a return to restrictions based on conditions in each county after what officials said are some positive signs about the virus spread.
SACRAMENTO – Officials with the California Department of Public Health on Monday ordered the Regional Stay at Home Order lifted 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 now above 15%, the threshold that allows regions to exit the order. The Sacramento Region exited the order on January 12 and the Northern California region never entered the order.
This action allows all counties statewide to return to the rules and framework of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy and color-coded tiers that indicate which activities and businesses are open based on local case rates and test positivity. The majority of the counties are in the strictest or purple tier. Tier updates are provided weekly on Tuesdays. Individual counties could choose to impose stricter rules.

California s Governor has lifted regional stay-at-home orders statewide in response to improving coronavirus conditions.
Governor Gavin Newsom says the decision to end the Regional Stay at Home orders statewide means a return to the system of county-by-county tiered COVID restrictions.

The ending of the Regional order means restaurants can operate outdoors as well as easing some of the other restrictions on multiple kinds of businesses.

The request is intended to provide relief to San Diego s local restaurant industry.
