California's public health officer has released an order that requires strained hospitals to delay elective surgeries and transfer patients to hospitals with more capacity as the state faces a COVID-19 surge.
The San Joaquin Valley Region, which includes San Benito County, currently falls under the zero percent ICU availability condition under the order.
Under the order, if a region has zero percent ICU availability, hospitals will delay Elective Surgery Acuity Scale (ESAS) Tier 1 and 2 surgical procedures. For example, carpal tunnel and colonoscopy procedures are Tier 1 surgeries that would be delayed.
Low-risk cancer and non-urgent spine procedures would be delayed under Tier 2.
Also under the order, hospitals that have reached crisis care levels will transfer patients to other hospitals that are capable of accepting them.
The order will remain in effect for at least three weeks.

The Monterey County District Attorney's Office says that a father found guilty of abusing and killing his child has been sentenced to prison.
27-year-old Hector Aguero Jr., will spend 35-years-to-life in prison for multiple child abuse charges.
In August 2018, investigators said the 6-month-old child's mother left him with Aguero when she left for work. Two hours later, Aguero called 911 to report that the baby was unconscious, not breathing and in cardiac arrest.
