Five California legislative assembly members dined together outdoors Monday, Dec. 8, 2020, despite surging coronavirus case levels that have triggered stay at home orders for much of the state's population. State rules are silent as to how many households can dine together outdoors at restaurants, but health officials have implored people to limit outside gatherings to no more than three households.(AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)

UPDATE: The regional stay-at-home order has been extended indefinitely for the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California due to continued lack of ICU capacity, California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly announced Tuesday.

The regional stay-at-home order for the SJV was supposed to expire Monday after a three-week period. However, Ghaly said four-week projections for both regions show demand exceeding ICU capacity, which means the stay-at-home order will remain in effect. The order will be lifted when "ICU projections are above or equal to 15%."

The ICU capacity in the SJV is currently at 0% and is not expected to improve significantly within the next four weeks. Ghaly said the region will remain under the stay-at-home order until ICU capacity reaches at least 15%.
