What does a “stay at home” order mean, exactly? How is it different from “shelter in place”? Here’s what we know so far
Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Last week, California became the first state to order residents to stay at home except for essential activities in order to slow the spread of coronavirus. New York was quick to follow, with Governor Andrew Cuomo announcing an executive order requiring residents to stay indoors except for essential trips and services, which went into effect on Sunday night.
The new restrictions in New York and California will be in place indefinitely. And as the number of infections across the country continues to rise, other states are already announcing similar measures. As of Monday afternoon, 12 states, including Delaware, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, and Wisconsin had announced stay-at-home orders.
What do the new restrictions mean for people who live in affected states? So far, the stay at home orders that have been announced in various states all look pretty similar, requiring residents to stay indoors except for certain essential activities, which include buying food and seeking medical treatment.
The executive order announced in New York, which went into effect on Sunday night, is similar. All nonessential businesses have been ordered to keep workers home, though this doesn’t include grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and bars , laundromats, health-care operations, child care, and other essential services. Public transportation will keep running to allow essential workers to commute, though New Yorkers should not use it unless absolutely necessary.
