Last updated 27 March 2020
In light of the increasingly dire situation in the United States pertaining to the ongoing out break of Coronavirus, we have decided it would be useful to have a single spot for official statements and information coming from state governments. We will update this post regularly with fresh and new information, so check back often.
Note: The term “State of Emergency” is used as a catch-all here. Some states have declared a Public Health Emergency; some, a Public Health Disaster. Others have different versions of the same message. For continuity, we will refer to them uniformly as “State of Emergency.” Furthermore, documents regarding business closures/school closures are, unless otherwise stated, included as part of “Statewide Public Health Order.”
