As a result, he is requiring all Bars, nightclubs and Restaurants "to close to in-person patrons", however, they may provide take-out and delivery services through the end of March.
Currently, 273 School Districts have taken action and closed school building to students, leaving 16 School Districts that remain open. The press release indicates that the Department of Education is working with those schools on their plans to adhere to the new order.
Hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers are being asked to cancel or postpone all "elective and non-urgent surgical procedures immediately", allowing medical facilities to "conserve resources and personnel" so they can be prepared for the emerging health needs.
