Closed businesses include non-essential shopping, malls and retail complexes, personal grooming, fitness facilities and gyms, and events, festivals and entertainment. Always check with businesses directly to see if they are open to the public at this time.
• Walking, jogging and cycling in your neighborhood is permitted. Outdoor state parks (including beaches and non-residential campgrounds), playgrounds, sports courts, skate parks and other recreational facilities are closed. For more information on USFS trails, visit:
