California Gov. Gavin Newsom held a press conference Monday at noon, on the same day that his administration lifted coronavirus stay-at-home orders across much of the state. Watch a replay of the livestreamed conference here:

Newsom today also announced a deal to extend the state’s eviction moratorium through June 30, giving tenants affected by the pandemic some security.

The end of the stay-at-home order comes as the California Department of Public Health’s four-week intensive care unit projections show ICU availability above 15% in the Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley and Southern California regions of the state.

A statewide curfew of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for all non-essential business and activities also has been lifted.

The state will return to the color tier coding system, with much of the state still in the purple tier — the most restrictive tier.
