Police in the Sacramento suburb of Rocklin, California ordered residents on one residential street to stay inside their homes as officers in protective gear patrolled the area as a sheriff's helicopter circled overhead, according to WIBW.

The orders were given under sections of California Health and Safety Code to "enforce regulations requiring strict isolation, or quarantine if the action is necessary for the protection of the public health."

The reason? A man who became California's first coronavirus victim lived on the block.

Residents were kept in the dark until after they were allowed to leave their homes, according to the report.
