In a press conference held on Sunday afternoon, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that all restaurants will have their occupancy levels cut in half and all bars will be closed to stop the coronavirus spread.
Newsom made the first announcement that all bars, night clubs, wineries and brew pubs are non-essential locations and will shut down. The Governor then stated that restaurants are a more “nuanced” issue and that the state doesn’t believe they require a total closure at this time. However, all restaurants’ occupancy levels will be cut in half, and patrons will be required to socially distance themselves in dining areas.
This message comes days after the governor banned all gatherings in California over 250 people. That being said, the governor did not address the closing of movie theaters in this announcement.
During the conference, Newsom said that 335 people have tested positive for coronavirus in California. The new tally of positive tests marks a 14 percent increase from yesterday. There have been six deaths from the virus in the state, with the sixth taking place in San Mateo county, where 32 cases have been recorded.
The announcement comes two days after President Trump declared a national state of emergency over the coronavirus pandemic and the U.S. travel ban was extended to include the U.K. and Ireland. The North American box office took a brutal hit this weekend after several theater chains limited their capacity to allow for social distancing. Overall, the box office hit a 22-year low point.
On Saturday, France also took precautions to limit the spread of coronavirus. The country closed all movie theaters, restaurants and non-essential stores. Places like pharmacies, grocery stores, gas stations, banks and newspaper stands still remain open.

Apropos that, I observed the following yesterday. The paper goods in the Mountain View, California Safeway were completely wiped out...
BUT, literally down there at the end of these empty paper goods shelves is this COMPLETELY STOCKED section...
"Further stressing social distancing, Newsom also urged that people over the age of 65 and people with chronic health issues stay indoors."
3000 people in the USA out of a population of 330 million which is 0.0009% of the population have the Coronaflu virus. Does anyone believe for one second if B. Hussein was POTUS this kind of alarmism would be going on in the media? Not-a-chance in hell. This is ALL about harming Trump, they are deliberately making this out to be like the modern version of the black plague, every freakin news station 24 hours a day because nothing is more important than getting Nancy Pelosi what she wants.
