OAKLAND — California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered widespread closures of indoor operations by tomorrow as the state faces its fastest surge in cases since the pandemic began, pulling what he called the “emergency brake” on 94 percent of residents.

“Bottom line is, we’re moving from a marathon to a sprint,” Newsom said.
That has led Newsom to accelerate the process, ensuring 41 of California’s 58 counties will have to shut churches, indoor dining and gyms until the state deems them safe for operation. That includes most of the state’s heavily populated counties, including most of the San Francisco Bay Area that previously had forestalled the same coronavirus spread seen elsewhere.
