What is happening in your area/state now?

Where I usually live in Bavaria, a state of emergency has been declared. Schools are shut until the Easter break, and non-essential businesses are being asked to close. People are being told to stay home, except for medical appointments and grocery shopping - all other shopping is being discouraged. Museums, galleries and swimming pools are all closed.

I am currently in Victoria, Australia. Again, a state of emergency has been declared, but schools are still open, except where there has been a confirmed case in the school. Museums shut, public gatherings of over 500 people banned, people being asked to restrict social contacts.

Michigan has closed casinos and some schools are extending spring break but they haven't taken drastic steps yet.

They are trial testing a vaccine on Monday here in WA.

Schools are on spring break
Libraries / rec centres still open
Restaurants still open
Stores starting to reduce hours
Citizens in uproar wanting Cnd border protected further with closures and extra screening at airports for incoming citizens.
Hospitals preparing - expecting the coming week to be difficult.
I am trying to convince my parents to stay in - the gov’t has not yet pushed for limiting social contact beyond the 250 number. (Not that my parents have ‘heard’ )
Store shelves are bare
In our city the weather is lovely. Getting out is nice.

In PA, all k-12 schools closed for 10 days (will probably be much longer), universities are closed and doing online learning, libraries closed, Pittsburgh zoo closed. Probably more closings will come.

Thinking about all the healthcare workers and wanted to thank all of them for what they do! Thankful for the grocery store workers that are so busy stocking the empty shelves and keeping things going. We have encountered friendly and helpful people when we have had to go out to buy food.

Here in central Illinois, the governor just declared that all restaurants and bars will close to eat in diners effective tomorrow. Only drive thru and take out is permitted from restaurants.

Our park districts and all of their programming have been shut down this weekend.

Grocery stores are cutting back hours in an attempt to restock empty shelves.

Our public and private K-12 schools are closed. No word on how long of a duration yet. Everyone is still scrambling. Most colleges have sent their kids home, some with plans to resume in April, some have declared all instruction will be online to the end of the semester.

I teach at a community college with strong health profession programs. Late last week, it was announced that labs, studio work, and health profession practicals would continue as usual, while all lectures would go to online format after our spring break which is this week. Tonight, after our first confirmed case of Covid-19 in the community, our college president eliminated all on campus activities, probably until the end of our spring semester. We have an extra week of spring break to prepare all of our materials for online instruction.

This shit is starting to get really real, really fast. I hope people start paying attention.

I just saw that the Mayor of Los Angeles is closing all gyms, theaters, restaurants (except for take-out), and bars.

I think it is now just a matter of time.

Small town (15K) outside of San Antonio Texas.

* schools closed for an additional week past spring break
* canceled a lot of city sponsored events and revoked special permits for other events for 2 or 3 weeks
* our only grocery store HEB had to reduce and modify its hours in order to restock

That’s all. Not a lot of impact that I’ve seen so far. The website says they follow CDC recommendations so I expect it will change for at least the gatherings over 50 people.

San Antonio, Texas

* postponed Fiesta which is our Mardi Gras, about 2.5 million visitor
* lots of cancellations of big public events up to and including major concerts
* closed Fiesta Texas (a Six Flags park)
* not familiar with school closings but I think 2 weeks is common, to include spring break
* Is one of several cities hosting the quarantine areas so I’m sure there must be other items but I’m not familiar.

City of Los angels restaurants are only open for take out or delivery.

Our county is supposed to be closed to all non essential businesses. So only grocery, gas stations, pharmacies and medical facilities are to be opened. So many businesses have gone on facebook and said they were not closing. DH had to run out to grab milk this morning and he said the roads are packed and no one is listening and staying home. Many businesses are saying business as usual despite the government mandate.

TRi state area, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, all bars and restaurants, no indinning, delivery, takeout, drive up only. Bars not serving food, closed.  Casinos closed .  No gatherings+, no none!! 

NY bars, wineries allowed to do take out.

New Jersey also going to have a curfew of 8pm starting tonight. Only essential personnel on the roads, not sure about other people getting to and from work...
So much for people who work to go to the store later at night, or for just moms/dads to go after the other gets home.  You know, like a break from the kids.....


NJ DMV offices closed for two weeks.  Anything scheduled to expire by May 1st has a TWO month extension.  Many thing can still be processed online.

Our schools are closed across the county until 4/20.

Right now - restaurants are delivery/take out only and all must shut down by 8.

Me? I am at work.

Not enough. I don't think much has been announced for Phoenix / Arizona except for school closures to extend till the end of March. My Weight Watchers meetings have been switched to cyber-meetings, but that was the decision of the company. As of the weekend, one of the large movie theater chains was still open, but changing some procedures.

I haven't heard of any official state-level announcements about anything in AZ.

eta:  good point someone upthread posted-  the Frys (Kroger) grocery stores in my town have changed their hours from 24-hours open to being closed overnight, I'm assuming to allow them to clean/sanitize, and to restock the shelves.  (oh, and they're hiring, if anyone needs a job!)
