The Governor’s Order in Effect.
HOW WILL IT IMPACT THE ECONOMY? The California Governor in March issued a stay at home order for all the residents in California county amid the coronavirus outbreak. “We need to bend the curve in the state of California,” Newsom said, as he announced a statewide order for Californians to stay home. “There’s a social contract here, people I think recognize the need to do more ... They will begin to adjust and adapt as they have been quite significantly. We will have social pressure, and that will encourage people to do the right thing,” he said, in addressing how this order will be enforced.
BUSINESSES ALLOWED TO OPEN
This order by the governor is the strongest statewide restriction in the fight against the pandemic. It came just a few days after similar restrictions were made by the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County officials. As the number of the infected continue to rise globally, the number of confirmed cases in the United States doubled. So, this order is in effect, how does it impact the economy of California?
