Vermont Gov. Phil Scott on Tuesday issued a "stay home, stay safe" order, which will force the suspension of in-person operations for all non-essential businesses as part of an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. The order directs Vermonters to stay at home, leaving only for essential reasons critical to health and safety. It will take effect Wednesday at 5 p.m. and will remain in effect until April 15, however it can be extended or shortened as deemed necessary by the state. Read the governor's order Full list of essential businesses“I want to be very clear about this: We need everyone to limit activities outside of the home and to practice social distancing at all times to slow the spread of this highly contagious and potentially deadly virus,” Scott said. “We all must do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 to minimize infections - particularly for those who are elderly or have underlying chronic health conditions - and prevent it from overwhelming our healthcare facilities."Scott drew a distinction between his order and a shelter-in-place order during an appearance Monday, noting the phrase often has a much different interpretation for emergency officials. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Vermont increased to 95 Tuesday and deaths related to the disease grew to seven. Five of those deaths have been linked to a care facility in Burlington. Concerns over the coronavirus have prompted large-scale action in Vermont — the governor declared a state of emergency earlier this month, followed by the suspension of public school courses and the state's legislative session.Many local municipalities have passed additional spending measures to prepare for expected needs during the ongoing pandemic. Monday, Burlington City Council held its first-ever digital meeting to approve spending up to $1 million to help its residents access necessary resources. Vermont is the 17th to declare some form of stay-at-home order in an effort to curb the growing number of coronavirus cases, including neighboring New York, which has reported more than 25,000 positive tests.
