The mandate to close temporarily in this order does not apply to the following businesses: Places of public accommodation that offer food and beverages for off-site consumption, including grocery stores, markets, retail stores that offer food, convenience stores and gas stations, hardware stores, pharmacies, drug stores, and food pantries; restaurants are able to provide take-out, delivery, curbside, and drive-thru service. Health care facilities, residential care facilities, congregate care facilities, and correctional facilities along with crisis shelters, homeless shelters or other similar institutions are allowed to remain open, as are any emergency facilities necessary for the response to the current public health emergency or any other community emergency or disaster.
