California Enacts Statewide Order
for Residents to ‘Stay at Home’ On March 19, California Governor Gavin Newsom
announced that all 40 million of the state’s residents
were to “stay at home” until further notice. This means that all outside gatherings in
the state are now prohibited and nonessential
businesses everywhere must close. However, essential businesses,
such as pharmacies, grocery stores,
takeout and delivery restaurants, and
banks will continue to stay open. Gavin Newsom,
via CNBC The statewide order is being made in the hopes
of curbing the spread of COVID-19, which is rapidly
moving throughout the United States. So far, there have been more than 10,000
people infected nationwide, with more than
900 confirmed cases and 19 deaths in California. Gavin Newsom,
