This year limps to a close similar to the way it began in March with stay-at-home orders, an economy in bad shape and a desperate longing for normal. But at least now we have a vaccine on the horizon.

With Monterey County hospitals full of COVID-19 patients, the county’s health officer has decided to voluntarily opt into the state’s new “Regional Stay Home Order.” This move follows five other counties in the Bay Area who also opted in early.

It will align the county with the state’s new Regional Stay Home Order, which Governor Gavin Newsom announced last week. It’s triggered when a region drops below 15 percent ICU capacity. That happened last weekend for San Joaquin Valley, which includes San Benito County, and Southern California. Now, Monterey County is not waiting.
