From Mark Christian, Hon. AIA, AIA California: Governor Gavin Newsom issued an Executive Order on Thursday, March 19, ordering Californians to stay home with a few exceptions, such as leaving home for food, medicine or groceries, or to exercise. Several types of business are exempt from this order, meaning their employees are allowed to leave their homes to go to work. These types of businesses include grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, banks, and laundromats. Importantly, Governor Newsom includes construction as an exempt sector.
