随着冠状病毒病例和住院人数的激增，该地区的居家命令于12月5日生效。它关闭了所有非必要的企业进行现场活动，并对非必要的工人实行宵禁。

该州设立了五个地区，北加州、湾区、圣华金谷、大萨克拉门托和南加州，并设定了15%的重症监护室可利用率的门槛，以减少家庭护理订单。

由于重症监护室级别较低，北加州地区从未进入该订单。加州公共卫生部表示，萨克拉门托地区于1月12日退出了该命令。卫生部表示，其余三个部门的四周重症监护室容量预计超过15%。

California lifts some COVID restrictions as state continues to be hard-hit

After nearly two months, California health officials announced Monday they ended their latest stay-at-home order, citing increased Intensive Care Unit capacity.

The new guidelines will allow certain businesses to reopen, including outdoor dining and gyms, with strict restrictions on the maximum number of people allowed, according to the California Department of Public Health.

Officials and health experts warned that the state, which still has a 14-day average for hospitalizations over 20,000, is not out of the woods and people need to remain cautious.

"COVID-19 is still here and still deadly, so our work is not over, but it’s important to recognize our collective actions saved lives and we are turning a critical corner," Dr. Tomás Aragón, the director of the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement Monday.

The regional stay-at-home order went into effect on Dec. 5 as the number of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations jumped. It shut down all non-essential businesses for in-person activity and instituted an overnight curfew for non-essential workers.

The state created five regions, Northern California, Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley, Greater Sacramento and Southern California and set a threshold of 15% ICU availability for scaling back the stay-at-home order.

The Northern California region never entered the order due to its lower ICU levels. The Sacramento region exited the order on Jan. 12, the California Department of Public Health said. The remaining three sections have four-week ICU capacity projections above 15%, the health department said.

"Our projections statewide is in the aggregate being at 30.3% on the 21st of February," Gov. Gavin Newsom said at a news conference Monday. "The goal of this announcement is to socialize our projections."

Counties will now revert to the state's color-coded reopening guidelines that were in place before December. All but four counties are at apurple "widespread" tier, the strictest level, which allows for very limited indoor retail, including hair salons, and outdoor dining and gym services.

Los Angeles announced salons and malls were immediately open and it will resume outdoor dining on Friday. San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced she will allow outdoor dining, hair and nail salons, and more starting Thursday.

Newsom warned that the state has a long way to go before returning to normalcy, based on the latest health data.

While the 14-day average for new daily coronavirus cases hit a high of around 40,000 at the end of December, and on Jan. 24, it was near 30,000, according tostate health data. At the end of November, the 14-day average of new cases was around 13,000, the health data showed.

The state hospitalization rate on Jan. 24 was 18,347, which is a decrease of 4,318 from the peak level on Jan. 11, according to state health data. However, on Jan. 5, there were 10,624 people hospitalized in the state, the health data showed.

On Jan. 24, there were 4,475 patients in ICUs statewide, compared to 2,393 on Dec. 5, according to the state health data. The 14-day average of ICU COVID-19 patients has increased from 1,896 on Dec. 5 to 4,769 on Jan. 24, the data showed.

The state health department credited several tactics with lowering the hospital numbers, including expanding medical facilities and streamlining the process for transferring patients out of overcrowded hospitals to ones with more space.

"We are seeing a flattening of the curve, but we are not out of the woods yet," Newsom said.

As of Monday, the state hasadministeredover 2.4 million doses of coronavirus vaccines, according to the state health department.

"We have tripled our rate of administration of the vaccine," Newsom said.

In the meantime, the governor and health officials urged Californians to wear masks, avoid crowds, social distance and keep heeding health warnings in the coming weeks.
