Governor Newsom ordered, effective immediately, that everyone stays at home to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly from China to over 100 other locations around the world. In California the virus has spread to 675 people, killing 16 people, including a 34-year-old Glendora man. Those who must go out to perform essential tasks should remain approximately 6’ from other people.
Governor Newsom encourages everyone to:
Stay home
Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
If soap and water aren’t available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer
You should not:
Shake hands
Touch your face
Go to the doctor if you aren’t sick
Stockpile masks or gloves
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.
