The order is until further notice but does not include essential services including going to the gas station, food from grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and delivery restaurants, banks, laundromats and laundry services. Essential state and local government functions will also remain open, including law enforcement and offices that provide government programs and services.
