“The most important thing is to focus on the vulnerable and prioritize their safety,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said.
ACRAMENTO, Calif. – Stopping short of a state order, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday called for the home isolation of all seniors and those who are health compromised in the state of California and the immediate shutdown of bars, nightclubs, brew pubs and wineries to help stop the spread of coronavirus, now considered a global pandemic.
In addition, Newsom said all restaurants should reduce capacity by half and provide “deep social distancing.”
Finally, he said that on Monday, he may announce possibly halting evictions in California.
NEW: Those that are 65 and older or vulnerable to #COVIDー19 must practice home isolation.
Bars, night clubs, wineries, and breweries should close in CA.
Restaurants — focus on takeout for those isolating. Maximize social distancing.

We’re working in real time to secure hotels, motels, and trailers to house our homeless safely and protect our communities and the spread of #COVIDー19.
