California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that he will likely order businesses such as bars and salons to shutter and reimplement stay-at-home orders in a few days as large swaths of the state see an uptick in hospitalizations due to the coronavirus.
Newsom announced that four out of five regions in the state -- excluding the San Francisco Bay Area -- will have fewer than 15% of beds available in the intensive care units of their regional hospital networks within a day or two, which will force the restrictions to take place.
