SANTA CLARA COUNTY (KRON) -- Santa Clara County's mandatory quarantine for travelers is now in effect, and will be until at least December 21.
Anyone coming to Santa Clara County from over 150 miles away is asked to stay inside their homes for 14 days. The travel directive started midnight the Monday after Thanksgiving.
County officials are concerned as coronavirus cases are increasing in huge numbers. There were 574 new cases reported on November 29, and 62 new hospitalizations.
The county's latest coronavirus data shows a big spike in cases this month, close to 200 more cases than the previously recorded spike in July.
Santa Clara County joins most of California in the purple tier, which is the most restrictive. Retail stores may only allow a 10% indoor capacity, while grocery stores can allow 25%.
All professional, collegiate and youth sports are also temporarily prohibited.
