IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - In a statement, the Imperial County Public Health Department said the governor's Regional Stay at Home Order would approach the county sometime this month.
Governor Gavin Newsom said the Regional Stay at Home Order consists of the hospital's Intensive Care capacity of less than 15%.
However, regions with a combined ICU capacity of less than 15% must discontinue gatherings, and close operations except for critical infrastructure and retail.
The stay at home order will remain in effect for at least three weeks. In which time ICU capacity will be reassessed county by county.
