The Executive Order also requires some businesses to limit their in-person staff to the minimum necessary to maintain basic operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As expected, the Executive Order exempts any work covered by the recently published federal CISA list (see below at \u201ca\u201d) and several other categories of businesses. It also maintains the earlier restrictions on retail businesses, restaurants, and beverage sellers. Additionally, Paragraph 1, Section P of the Executive Order allows companies that are in the supply chain for businesses that are life-sustaining to continue operations. The following summarizes the businesses addressed in the Executive Order, including those businesses deemed life-sustaining that are allowed to remain open in light of the Executive Order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT ARE LIFE-SUSTAINING BUSINESSES?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life-Sustaining Businesses can be defined several different ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Federal Critical Infrastructure Sections website<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> provides information about the 16 critical infrastructure sectors that are considered vital and may remain open pursuant to Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21), which identifies 16 critical infrastructure sectors;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In-person retail stores that provide life-sustaining goods, consistent with Executive Order 2020-246,<a href=\"#_ftn3\" id=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a> are deemed life-sustaining businesses;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Food, beverage, and agriculture;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Organizations that provide charitable services, including food banks, emergency services, and religious and secular nonprofit organizations;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Media including television, radio, and other media services;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>f. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Gas stations and businesses relating to transportation, including bicycle repair, farm, and automotive supply and repair;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>g. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Financial services, including but not limited to banks, credit unions, consumer, industrial, and mortgage loan companies, and even pawn brokers to the extent they are selling firearms and ammunition (the Executive Order allows those selling firearms and ammunition to remain open);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>h. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Housing, building, and construction;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mail, post, shipping, logistics, delivery, and pick-up services;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>j. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Laundry mats, dry cleaners, and industrial laundry services;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>k. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Restaurants for consumption off premises\u2014such as carry-out, drive-through food, and beverage sales;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>l. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Supplies for life-sustaining businesses;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>m. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Transportation, including airlines, taxis, rentals, as well as ride sharing businesses such as Uber and Lyft;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>n. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Home-based care and services for adults, seniors, and children, as well as those with substance abuse disorders and mental illness;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>o. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Professional services such as legal, accounting, insurance, and real estate (but these businesses are required to implement work at home to the \u201cfullest extent possible\u201d);<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>p.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Manufacturing, distribution, and supply chains for critical products and industries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>q.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Critical labor union functions;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>r. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hotels and motels; and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>s. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Funeral services.<a href=\"#_ftn4\" id=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS IN EXECUTIVE ORDER 2020-257<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted &nbsp;the Executive Order <strong>does not<\/strong> affect:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>telework or virtual operations or&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any business engaged in the sale of firearms and ammunition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, while the Executive Order does not eliminate the obligation&nbsp;to pay rent or mortgage, commercial and residential evictions are suspended for the duration of the state of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW DO I PROTECT MYSELF, EMPLOYEES, AND THE PUBLIC IF MY BUSINESS IS OPEN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All businesses\u2014whether fully open or open only for \u201cminimum basic operations\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn5\" id=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a>\u2014must implement certain practices on social distancing and hygiene.
