|
What hours is the curfew in effect?
Non-essential work and gatherings must shut down from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Does this mean I can't leave my house after 10 p.m.?
No. The order says "Nothing in this order prevents any number of persons from the same household from leaving their residence, lodging, or temporary accommodation, as long as they do not engage in any interaction with (or otherwise gather with) any number of persons from any other household, except as specifically permitted herein."
What can I do after 10 p.m.?
Dr. Mark Ghaly, the state Health and Human Services secretary, said that restaurants could continue takeout past 10 p.m., people can take their dog for walk, or go to the grocery or drug store if it is open.
Can I eat out after 10 p.m.?
In counties in the purple tier, Ghaly said, outdoor dining must stop at 10 p.m., but restaurants can continue to offer takeout after that.
