This is to be taken serious. There will be consequences of second demeanor if it isn’t. Now, you can still go outside and take a walk, play in your backyard, go to metro parks, etc. but you need to keep the 6 foot separation between others. You can still go get groceries, take out food, gas, or go to the doctor.
Just remember to continue to wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds, keep a distance of 6 feet when around others, do not get together with people of a group size of 10 or more, post-pone events if you can, grad the essential items you’ll need, don’t over spend because you are going to need to continue to pay your bills.
