Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley are the latest areas of California to implement a stay-at-home order, The Los Angeles Times reported.
The move comes a day after health officials in six San Francisco area jurisdictions announced a regional stay-at-home order.
The implementations in Southern California will go into effect at 11:59 p.m. PT Sunday, the Times reported. The order will remain in effect for three weeks, the newspaper reported.
The Times reported that the Southern California region’s capacity was 12.5% on Saturday and the San Joaquin Valley’s was 8.6%, according to data released by the state.
