Hospitalizations are at an all-time high. In an effort to control the situation, the government announced new restrictions yesterday that target the greater metropolitan area (GAM). These select counties are all around San Jose where the greatest increase in cases has been seen. In those areas, most businesses will be closed or only able to offer take out or limited services from May 3-9. Hotels, rental car agencies, tours, and national parks are not impacted. Outside the GAM, business remains as usual but hours of operation are only from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (previously 11:00 p.m.).
This increase in cases and the threat of restrictions will likely impact tourism, but we hope that the case numbers start to decrease soon.
