The expected directive begins at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and involves San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Contra Costa and Alameda counties — a combined population of more than 6.7 million. sfchronicle.com/local-politics…
County authorities were expected to announce the move at 1 p.m. and gave a draft of the order to media outlets to prepare. The Chronicle is reporting the story after a television station published the news early. sfchronicle.com/local-politics…
The order falls just short of a full lockdown, which would forbid people from leaving their homes without explicit permission, and it wasn’t immediately clear how, or to what degree, it would be enforced. sfchronicle.com/local-politics…
The order calls for the sheriff or chief of police to “ensure compliance.” sfchronicle.com/local-politics…
