–San Luis Obispo County Supervisors voted 3-2 Tuesday to direct staff to prepare to file a lawsuit against the State of California to remove the county from Governor Gavin Newsom’s Southern California Region for Coronavirus. The intent is to return San Luis Obispo County to the Governor’s Purple Tier so that many small businesses like restaurants and wineries could resume operation. The proposal manifested after County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein told the board in her report on COVID-19 that county hospitals had a 50-percent vacancy rate in ICU beds, unlike many counties in southern California, where there are no ICU beds available.
