A holiday surge in coronavirus cases may result in extended stay-at-home orders for Southern California and other areas. “It is likely that the Regional Stay at Home Order will extend for many regions in California,” the California Department of Public Health said in a statement Sunday. AdvertisementOn Saturday, Los Angeles County health officials reported 29,423 new coronavirus cases over Christmas Day and Saturday combined. The county averaged about 14,000 new coronavirus cases a day and 88 COVID-19 deaths daily over the past week. But that leaves little time for coronavirus cases to start falling before they spike again, creating surges on top of surges.
