OVERVIEW:
- All residents should immediately begin self-isolating at home. The policy, similar to the one enacted in San Francisco, requires people to stay home except for essential needs, the purchasing of food, care for a family member or friend, to get health care, or employment where remote work is not possible.
- Travel for employment, shopping for food/supplies is still permitted. Recreational travel is prohibited. Groups of 5 or more are prohibited.
- Restaurants are permitted through delivery and take-out service only, while grocery stores, supermarkets, bodegas, banks, liquor stores, restaurants with food, pharmacies, and coffee shops will remain open until 8:00 p.m.
- Activities such as running, jogging, bike-riding, walking, and other similar types of exercise are permitted under the new self-isolation policy, but only if social distancing of at least six feet is observed.
- These steps are being taken due to an uptick in police activity and growing concerns over the spread of Coronavirus.
