Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday announced that state health officials are pulling an emergency brake on California’s COVID-19 pandemic response, increasing restrictions in 40 counties including the entire Bay Area as the state’s daily cases doubled over the past 10 days.

State officials specifically addressed a number of counties in the Bay Area moving multiple tiers backwards in the state’s risk-assessment system this week as case number spiked.

Governor Newsom announced on Monday the state was experiencing the fastest increase in cases since the pandemic began in March.

Previously, the fastest increase had taken place between June 15 and June 21 when cases jumped 39.2 percent. Newsom said that in the first week of November, California’s COVID-19 cases saw a 51.3 percent increase.

The governor said the huge jump was leading state health officials to institute some immediate changes to California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, noting that 40 counties would be moving backwards in the system this week with some counties moving back from the Orange Tier to the Purple Tier.
