Ivey said the targeted closings are meant to keep business from slowing to a halt across the state but still help slow the spread of the coronavirus. The order will keep non-essential businesses closed until April 17.
The order also prohibits all non-work related gatherings of 10 people or more or social gatherings of any size that cannot maintain a consistent six-foot distance between individuals.
In addition, all non-emergency dental, medical or surgical procedures are cancelled and all public, private schools and colleges are ordered shuttered and limited to in-person instruction.
The order does allow restaurants and bars to continue to offer take-out and delivery options to customers.
