Vermont Governor Phil Scott has issued a statewide ‘stay at home order’, reports WCAX.
At a press conference Wednesday morning, Scott gave the order that starting at 5 PM, VT citizens are to stay home, leaving only for emergency to slow the spread of coronavirus. Exemptions from this order include; critical manufacturing, healthcare workers, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants that provide delivery or curbside pickup, and news media. All non-essential businesses are to close. Outdoor activities are listed as acceptable, but Scott says to continue practicing social distancing. VT is up to 123 COVID-19 cases, with eight deaths.
The current order is in effect until April 15, with the possibility to extend further.
