It’s still OK to go to grocery stores, drug stores, health care providers and other essential businesses
, and violations are considered a misdemeanor punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. Large public gatherings are off the table, businesses and government agencies will have to stop all non-essential operations at physical locations, and people will only be allowed to leave the house for work if they work at a place deemed an essential business or service provider.
For those concerned about societal collapse and the sudden absence of crucial goods and services, California’s shelter in place orders offer a broad definition of “essential” businesses — and, of course, people can leave their homes to obtain essential supplies and services. Most importantly, this covers grocery stores, drug stores, and health care providers; and while many restaurants will have to cease regular dining-in services, they will still be allowed to provide takeout and delivery.
Businesses that will have to close, however, include bars and nightclubs, as well as gyms and and other recreation facilities. But, the order does not prevent people from going outside to run, walk or just get some fresh air after a long day of working at home . To that end, the most important takeaway is that a shelter in place order is not some secret way of enacting martial law. Per, San Francisco police chief said there would be a “compassionate, common sense approach” to enforcement. “We are asking for voluntary compliance,” he continued. “Yes, by law, enforcement is an option, but that is not our desire. That is not what we intend to do.
