How are companies allowed to get pass on capacity restrictions mandated by the city/county/state?

I live in Pittsburgh area.

Allegheny County Health Department officials and our mayor has declared a state of emergency in the city Friday evening and prohibited all public gatherings of more than 250 people.

However, office places do not have these type of restrictions. I am still ordered by my company to report to the office on Monday even though the job that I perform does not physically require me to be there in any way. I am a software developer. My office has over 35 floors and probably host well over 7000 employees. Our office only has 1 cafeteria area which most go at lunchtime (~noon).
