Operative words
On December 6, 2020, the Southern California Region fell below the 15% ICU bed capacity threshold, triggering application of the Order to the County of Riverside. Therefore, pursuant to the authority set forth in General Order 2020-68, which extends the time period in Penal Code section 1382 for the holding of a trial, all new jury trials are suspended through December 31, 2020.
