California Gov. Newsom Just Closed Indoor Dining and Bars Across the Entire State

California governor Gavin Newsom has announced an immediate shutdown of indoor dining rooms and all tasting rooms, breweries, and bars across the entire state. Previously, Newsom had called for those closures only for counties that fell onto the state’s watch list of areas with an increasing rate of spread of the novel coronavirus.

“We are announcing additional statewide actions,” Newsom said in his still-ongoing public event, saying that the increased closures were “a consequence of positivity rate and increased hospitalizations”
