News 11's Gianella Ghiglino talks to Valley residents about dealing with another lockdown

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - California Governor Gavin Newsom has expected extended a regional stay-at-home order for Southern California.

Southern California Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity is at zero percent.

In Imperial County, the number of hospitalizations is growing. There are now 190 patients with confirmed cases, an increase from fourteen days ago.

The county will remain in the first tier, which means non-essential indoor business operations will remain closed.

Many local businesses in Imperial County continue to struggle amid the orders.

“I risk my life every day when I come to work, you never know who the employees have been with the customers, you just never know so it is very scary,” said Savinna Diaz, server a K2 Sushi.

Coming up Tuesday on the Evening Edition, News 11's Gianella Ghiglino gets reaction from the community about moving back into lockdown.

Gianella Ghiglino

Peruvian-born and LA raised Gianella Ghiglino joins the team from the San Fernando valley. “LA is the place that taught me how to breath and Peru is my breath.” She says she was inspired by the community she grew up in and began documenting her experience through poetry at the age of 7. “I wrote about everything I saw, felt and everything that inspired me.” When she entered High School she joined her school news station and realized that broadcast journalism allowed her to pursue her passion and her purpose all at once. Gianella attended Cal State Northridge and received a Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Spanish Broadcast Journalism, and Political Science. She did several internships while in College but most notably interned for PBS’s local LA station for three years. “My purpose is to share my story and of those in my community, my passion is writing.”
