The announcement was made during his daily news conference at 2 p.m. Northam had previously closed all K-12 schools through this week, March 27, to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19.

Recreation and entertainment (think cinemas, race tracks, etc) will close starting 0000 Wednesday.

So will personal non-health services requiring close contact (e,g. barbershops).

Restaurants and beverage places will be limited to takeout, curbside and delivery.

Non-essential brick and mortar stores can't have more than 10 patrons inside, must practice social distancing and sanitation.

Food stores, pharmacies, childcare and other essential services must sanitize and practice SD.

ABC stores are exempt but must clean and do SD.
