SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) – California will ban evictions of tenants affected by the coronavirus outbreak through the end of May under an executive order signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday.
The state had already authorized local governments to ban evictions of people who were ill or had lost their jobs due to the virus, but Friday’s executive order prohibits such actions statewide, Newsom said.
