Governor Newsom signed a new order yesterday that will likely shut down a good portion of the state (including San Diego) within the next week. The shut-down criteria is tied to regional ICU capacity, and a good chunk of the state if likely to fall below needed available ICU capacity in the next couple of days.

For reference, Southern California’s current ICU capacity is 20.6%. As of yesterday, San Diego is doing marginally better than the region at 23%.
