The order says residents must “stay at home or in their place of residence,” unless they are engaged in a specific list of activities or “Critical Sector Work.” You can see the list of exempted activities and jobs deemed “critical” in paragraphs five and six of the full text, which is embedded below, with further clarification provided by the Department of Homeland Secruity’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency here.

Jamie Pfuhl, president of the Minnesota Grocers Association, said grocery stores will stay open as normal. She urged people to avoid rushing to stories.

“By rushing on products, you make it so that there's not enough product left for your neighbors. And we're much more 'Minnesota Nice' than that. We want to make sure that we keep those products on the shelves and that you stick to what your household needs," she said.
