The state of California has ordered its residents to "stay home" while trying to control coronavirus infections in that most popular state of the United States. Gov.
Gavin Newsom told California residents that they would have to leave their homes only when it was necessary during a corona virus outbreak.

Governor Newsom said on Thursday evening: "At this point we need to take some tough decisions.
We need to recognize the real situation." Its ordinance will allow residents to be converted into their homes to buy home or medicine needs, or when walking the dog or doing physical exercise, but will require them to stop attending social gatherings.
It will force businesses that are deemed to be unnecessary to close, while forcing other food and beverages and other essential household goods, pharmacies, banks and petroleum facilities to remain open.
Approximately half of the province's residents have already implemented such drastic measures, including the City of San Francisco.
