By Jacob Gershman Updated April 4, 2020 11:40 am ET More than half of U.S. states have imposed lockdown measures restricting gathering and social contact, disrupting the lives of more than 100 million people and suspending the operations of thousands of businesses. This article will be updated as new information becomes available.
•Essential businesses and operations must avoid gatherings of 10 persons or more and maintain a consistent 6-foot distance between persons. • The governor directed Coloradans to stay home unless “obtaining food and other household necessities, going to and from work at critical businesses, seeking medical care, caring for dependents or pets, or caring for a vulnerable person in another location.”• Exempted critical businesses include grocery stores, gas stations, firearms stores, marijuana dispensaries and dozens of other services and companies across manufacturing, health care, infrastructure, financial and media sectors.
• The physical locations of businesses considered nonessential, such as clothing stores and tour-guide companies, must be shut down as of Tuesday. The order doesn’t apply to a long list of essential businesses.• Domestic-violence victims are encouraged to seek alternative shelter.• Food services are restricted to takeout or delivery.
• People can still walk a pet, travel for food or for health and safety reasons, go to the airport and leave home to care for others.• The governor earlier required residents and visitors, arriving or returning to Hawaii, to self-quarantine for two weeks, beginning on Thursday. • Essential businesses and services include grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, police and fire stations, health-care facilities, garbage pickup and public transit.

John Bel Edwards ordered residents to stay home unless obtaining food and supplies, exercising, visiting a family member, going to a place of worship or commuting to an essential job.

Gretchen Whitmer’s directive. Those include exercise, essential errands, caring for family members, and volunteering at food pantries and shelters, among other reasons.• With exceptions, businesses may not require workers to leave their homes.
Key word MOST (8 Republican governors have not done so)
human lives are more important than profit
Washington state's stay-home mandate is thru May 4. Much of the info in this piece is dated. I expected better from you. Old info doesn't help anyone.
We are all in this together but some people are not social distancing.....
didn't change a thing companies still think they are essential and expect employees to come to work
Late but not too late.American policy makers must learn that lives of common people is above economy.
God bless and keep the citizens of both states safe. ❤️🤍💙
Best online comment I've seen, 'The president, who went bankrupt running casinos, has put his soggy cardboard cutout of a son-in-law, a mediocrity whose felon father had to buy him entrance to college, in charge of the greatest health and economic crisis in American history.'
