Abstract: As the COVID-19 pandemic took deeper hold in the United States in March 2020, fears of exposure to the novel coronavirus caused many people to restrict activities outside their homes. To reduce the spread of the coronavirus and maintain sufficient hospital capacity to meet the potential need, governors and local officials instituted states of emergency. These declarations required that people remain at home, only going out for groceries and prescriptions, doctor’s appointments, exercise, and other essential activities; defined the essential businesses that could remain open; and ordered nonessential businesses to shut down most operations that could not be done remotely or through telework.
