Sacramento County, California, which includes the state capital of the same name, issued a “stay at home” order directing its population of 1.5 million people to remain at their place of residence except for essential activities amid the growing pandemic.

The legal order doesn’t call it a “shelter in place,” which was implemented by other California cities including San Francisco and Fresno to deal with the spread of the CCP virus.
