California Orders Nearly 40 Million People to Stay at Home
Every one of California's 40 million residents is now required to stay at home indefinitely following an order from Gov. Gavin Newsom that took effect Thursday night at midnight. The order -- one of the first statewide bans on going out in public, with few exceptions -- is aimed at arresting the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Efforts to control the deadly illness have ground the global economy to a halt in recent weeks, but those efforts have not kept the spread of COVID-19 from overwhelming healthcare systems in some parts of the world.
