South Sacramento Today

City of Folsom issued the following announcement on Dec. 10

The Greater Sacramento Region intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity has dropped below 15%, and the State requires Sacramento County to implement a Regional Stay-At-Home Order, effective just before midnight Thursday, December 10.

As of December 10, the current ICU capacity for the Greater Sacramento Region, which includes Sacramento and 12 other counties, is at 13.3%.

Sacramento County residents are required to stay at home as much as possible and minimize mixing with other households in order to slow the surge in cases and hospitalizations, which will help prevent overwhelming regional ICU capacity.

Per the Order, all individuals living in the Region are to stay at home unless for essential activities and cease all gatherings with members of other households. The following sectors must close all operations until further notice:

• Amusements parks.
• Bars, breweries, distilleries, and wineries.
