Although Santa Cruz county has so far not had I.C.U. bed capacity drop below 15 percent, that is expected to happen soon. When the capacity decreases to that point, it will trigger the state’s mandated Stay-At-Home Order, which will go into effect within 24 hours, so many businesses around the county are awaiting that word. Santa Cruz County Deputy Health Officer Doctor David Ghilarducci said there’s been a 20 percent jump in the number of Covid-19 cases recently, and they are most likely due to people gathering for Thanksgiving.
