This announcement comes as the Bay Area region collectively dropped below 15% remaining ICU capacity. This news means that the remaining Bay Area counties (Napa, Solano and San Mateo counties) will join the stay at home order shortly before midnight Thursday.
To comply with the order, several businesses must close or modify operations. Restaurants will no longer be allowed to have indoor or outdoor dining, and playgrounds, indoor recreational facilities, hair salons, personal care services, museums and movie theaters must all close.
According to the state website updated Thursday morning, 98% of the state’s population is under a regional stay at home order.
