With cases of COVID-19 continuing to climb across the state, we’re toggling back a little more on our recovery journey. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the closures today, noting that some apply statewide and others to the 30 counties on the state’s monitoring list, which includes Los Angeles County.
“We’re starting to see in some rural parts of the state an increase in ICU use that is generating some concern,” Newsom said.
