Santa Barbara County to Go Under Regional Shutdown
As COVID-19 Cases Rise Across State, Governor Newsom Pulls New Emergency Brake
Santa Barbara County will likely be under a new stay-at-home order within the next week, thanks to Governor Gavin Newsom’s new break up of California by region rather than county.
The governor divided the state by five separate regions: Northern California, the greater Sacramento area, the Bay Area, the San Joaquin Valley, and Southern California, which includes Santa Barbara County. Any region whose intensive-care-unit capacity falls under 15 percent will be placed under a stay-at-home order for three weeks.
