California is in lockdown with 40 million ordered to stay home | ITV News

by

The Governor of California has now taken the drastic step of ordering all 40 million residents to stay at home. The measure applies across the entire state and it is mandatory, though people are permitted to go outside to buy food, medicine and petrol.

This is an extraordinary decision. The most successful economy in America, and the most dynamic in the world, is shutting down. The largest state in the union is closed for business – in fact closed for anything. We are in truly unprecedented territory.
