The lone Bay Area holdout looks to have to issue the stay at home order under California's rules; the share of available ICU beds has dropped to 15%.

Surge in Cases
As of Tuesday, December 15, the County has reported to the state a total of 18,907 COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began. Deaths due to COVID-19 are 183.
The County has recorded new single-day highs for cases repeatedly this month. For the period December 9 through December 15, the County recorded 2,602 new lab-confirmed cases, a daily average of 372 cases and the most in any seven-day period.
Significantly, the county’s test-positivity 14-day average has risen to 8.0 percent from 2.1 percent in early November.
Across the Bay Area region, ICU capacity fell today to 12.9 percent, according to the state's COVID-19 data dashboard.
With Bay Area ICU capacity falling below the 15 percent trigger threshold, now 39.4 million Californians – about 98 percent of the population – are subject to the Regional Stay At Home Order.
