Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday lifted the regional stay-at-home orders across California, allowing – among other things – outside dining at restaurants.
“We’re seeing a flattening of the curve. Everything that should be up is up, everything that should be down is down,” said the governor at a press conference in Sacramento.
He also withdrew the “stay-at-home” order for the hours of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., a curfew that was widely ignored.
Orange County is now operating under the “purple” tier for the state’s approach to the coronavirus, but is no longer grouped with Los Angeles and other adjacent counties.
