in at least 30 of the hardest-hit counties, businesses would be forced to close indoor operations for fitness centers, places of worship, noncritical offices, hair salons and barbershops, and malls. Roughly 80 percent of the state’s population lives in the affected counties, he said.
As of Sunday, California was averaging 8,000 new cases a day, more than double the pace a month earlier.
