BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. – On December 3, the State announced a Regional Stay At Home
Order (the Order) will go into effect and would remain in effect for at least three weeks in California
regions where ICU capacity falls below 15%. Butte County is in the Greater Sacramento Region along
with Alpine, Amador, Colusa, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo,
and Yuba.
As of December 9th, the Greater Sacramento Region, which includes Butte County, has fallen below

Orders. The Order will remain in effect until the region’s four week projected ICU capacity is equal to
or greater than 15%. This will be assessed approximately twice a week. At that point, the Blueprint
for a Safer Economy’s tier based system will be re-instated.
The Order does not modify existing school guidance. Schools that are open for in person instruction
