Stay At Home Order Begins

Stay at home

I hope you are all aware of the Shelter-in-Place proclamation for Mecklenburg County that we received this afternoon. I, like many of you, watched as Charlotte’s county officials made the announcement Tuesday afternoon. (Click here to see the full proclamation.) Under the proclamation, everyone is to stay at home. Stores that sell groceries and medicine, and certain other businesses and nonprofit organizations are permitted to stay open, and their employees may drive or travel for work purposes.

 

Order similar to others around the country

County Manager, Dena Diorio, stated that the “stay-at-home” order is similar to the “shelter-in-place” orders issued by other parts of the country.The Mecklenburg County’s order will be in effect for the next three weeks, starting 8 a.m. Thursday, March 26, 2020

 

No gatherings of more than 10

Public and private gatherings of more than 10 people are banned under Mecklenburg’s order, superseding a prior directive that limited gatherings to 50 individuals. The proclamation permits “leaving the home for essential activities,” which include seeking medical care or going to care for a friend or loved one.

 

Class 2 misdemeanor

In essence, the proclamation reinforces the stay-at-home practices already being observed.The difference is that now violators can be arrested for a Class 2 misdemeanor. Local and county officials have urged local citizens to take the coronavirus seriously.

 

“The higher level of compliance we get with this proclamation, the shorter it will be.”
—County Manager Dena Diorio
