Today, the State of California announced that the Greater Sacramento region has met the ICU availability criteria of 15 percent or less to trigger the State’s Regional Stay at Home Order. Once triggered, these orders will remain in effect for at least three weeks. After that period, they will be lifted when a region’s projected ICU capacity meets or exceeds 15 percent. The State will assess the region’s ICU capacity on a weekly basis after the initial three week period.
The Stay at Home order will take effect Thursday, Dec. 10, at 11:59 p.m., Sacramento County Public Health has issued an updated Dec. 9, 2020 Sacramento County Health Order that aligns with the State’s Regional Stay at Home Order.
In alignment with the Regional Stay At Home Order, Sacramento County residents are required to stay at home as much as possible and minimize mixing with other households in order to slow the surge in cases and hospitalizations to help prevent overwhelming regional ICU capacity.
