onavirus. The advisory goes into effect Tuesday at noon and will last through at least April 7.
All nonessential businesses will close. Grocery stores and pharmacies — and the businesses that support their operation — will remain open, as will medical facilities and gas stations. Restaurants can still offer takeout and delivery services, provided they observe proper social distancing. Liquor stores and medical marijuana dispensaries will also be considered essential.
Baker is not prohibiting travel, and said public transportation will continue to operate.
Baker said he is not deeming it an order as he will not confine people to their homes, but most businesses must close.
"If you're not an essential business, based on this list, you basically need to close your doors with respect to your physical operation," Baker said.
