The statewide mandate urged people to practice social distancing and to only leave their homes for necessities such as grocery shopping and seeking medical attention or acquiring medicine.

Exemptions for media, health care providers and financial institutions, among others, were made as well, with workers falling into the category of "essential workers."

Bars and restaurants shuttered throughout the city and are only permitted to offer takeout or delivery services.
