On a live, virtual press conference this afternoon, the Bay Area Health Officers announced that they will implement the State's Regional Stay-at-Home Order, announced by the Governor yesterday, rather than wait until the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed availability falls below 15%, which would have prompted the Bay Area region to be included. In Alameda County, the order will be in effect beginning Monday, December 7 and remain in place until January 4, 2021. See Joint Press Release

The Stay-at-Home order prohibits private gatherings of any size, closes sector operations except for critical infrastructure and retail, and requires 100% masking and physical distancing in all others. Learn more about this order
