City of Beaumont: Regional Stay Home Order

Press release from the City of Beaumont

Posted on: December 3, 2020

The Regional Stay Home Order, announced December 3, will go into effect within 48 hours in regions with less than 15% ICU availability. It prohibits private gatherings of any size, closes sector operations except for critical infrastructure and retail, and requires 100% masking and physical distancing in all others.

This limited closure will help stop the surge and prevent overwhelming regional ICU capacity.
