      • Businesses are encouraged to offer food and beverages using delivery service, window service, drive-through service, or drive-up service, and to use precautions in doing so to mitigate the potential transmission of COVID-19, including social distancing.
    2. The following businesses are closed to occupancy by the public:

      • Museums.
      • Gymnasiums, fitness centers, recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, indoor exercise facilities, exercise studios, yoga and barre studios, and other similar facilities.  
      • Bingo halls and other recreational or entertainment facilities.

    This does not prohibit an owner, employee, contractor, vendor or supplier of a local business from entering, using or occupying that place of business in their professional capacity.

    The restrictions do not apply to any of the following:

    1. Grocery stores, markets, convenience stores, and other similar businesses and establishments that offer food and beverage that is not for on-premises consumption.
    2. Pharmacies and drug stores.

    8. Banks and financial institutions.

    The updated Proclamation will be signed early next week and before April 10, Moriarty will revaluate if another extension is necessary.
