“The Sheriff’s Department is asking and expecting Riverside County residents to act responsibly and do what they can to protect themselves and their family from contracting the virus,” he said. Representatives for Newsom’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how the state will handle counties that don’t comply.īianco said the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s approach to the new orders would remain the same as it has throughout the pandemic. It appears part of the new goal is to shift attention away from his and others’ personal behavior with a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do attitude by turning public opinion against California sheriffs.” “Keeping money and support from our hospitals who are struggling with normal seasonal increases in patients, coupled with COVID-19 patients, is irresponsible. “Ironically, it wasn’t that long ago our same governor loudly and publicly argued how wrong it was for the president of the United States to withhold federal funding from states not complying with federal laws,” Bianco said. What Southern California counties lost, gained most people during height of pandemic? In Riverside County, Sheriff Chad Bianco criticized the new order.īianco said in a video message on Friday that he took issue with the possibility that the state would withhold funding from counties that did not enforce it. In San Bernardino County, where a record single-day spike of 3,178 new coronavirus cases was reported Saturday, spokesman David Wert said officials won’t take any action or make statements about the order until Monday.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a statement that the county, which already has some of the new restrictions in place such as bans on gatherings and in-person dining, will cooperate with the order. Some officials in Southern California hinted on Saturday they may not cooperate with the new order, while others said they were already at work to align with the state. Whether the regional approach will work as intended depends on each county’s willingness to comply. “So this is really a proactive move to get in front of it.” Counties respond “The problem is that we’re always chasing behind the virus as opposed to getting in front of it,” she said. Using a regional approach with ICU capacity as the trigger for a new order clearly targets one of public health officials’ biggest worries about the current coronavirus surge, said Anne Rimoin, a professor of epidemiology at UCLA and director of the university’s Center for Global and Immigrant Health. The order will remain in place for at least three weeks. It also will shut down playgrounds, overnight campgrounds, all in-person dining at restaurants and cap occupancy in stores at 20%. Officials and residents across the Southland on Friday and Saturday braced for another shutdown, which will ban all gatherings except for protests and religious services, which must be held outdoors, and close many nonessential businesses, such as bars, breweries, wineries, museums, zoos, aquariums, card rooms and hair and nail salons. The Southern California region, under the state order, includes Imperial, Inyo, Los Angeles, Mono, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. The regionwide order will go into effect at 11:59 p.m. Gavin Newsom, in an announcement Thursday, said the state would enact such orders by region when available ICU bed availability fell to 15% or lower. 6, after state officials said Saturday only 12.5% of adult intensive care beds were available in the area. Southern Californians will enter into a severe shutdown reminiscent of the coronavirus pandemic’s early days when a regional stay-at-home order goes into effect late Sunday night, Dec.
