Responses by state

On March 19, 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued an order directing all residents to stay at home except for trips for essential supplies and closing all businesses deemed nonessential by the state. This made California the first state to implement a stay-at-home order. Governors in 42 other states issued similar orders. Although the specifics of each order varied from state to state, they each required residents staying home and businesses closing statewide.

The first governors to lift their stay-at-home orders were Mike Dunleavy (R), who did so on April 24, and Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and Steve Bullock (D-Mont.), who did so on April 26. As of Dec. 3, every state had lifted its initial stay-at-home order. Click here for more information.

Defining critical industries, essential, and nonessential businesses

As part of a stay-at-home order, governors defined either essential businesses (businesses that must remain open) or nonessential businesses (businesses that must close). The exact definitions of essential and nonessential businesses varied from state to state. Many states, however, used a baseline provided by a federal agency as a guide to the businesses that fell into each category. On March 19, 2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a memo that outlined "the critical infrastructure sectors and the essential workers needed to maintain the services and functions Americans depend on daily and that need to be able to operate resiliently during the COVID-19 pandemic response." It defined essential businesses as those operating in the following industries:[1]

State-specific orders referred to this memo and their essential business lists were built based on CISA recommendations. To see what businesses each state defined as essential and nonessential, click the link to the executive order on the table below.

Orders by state

Forty-three states issued statewide shelter-in-place, stay-at-home, closure, or shutdown orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The map below highlights states that issued a stay-at-home order.

We classified New Mexico's stay-at-home order as active through November 30 because of the following language in the state's health orders since March: “all New Mexicans should be staying in their homes for all but the most essential activities and services.”[4] In practice, New Mexicans were permitted to leave their homes for a broad range of activities, even if it was not recommended.

With the November and December wave of new, stricter coronavirus orders, we decided to end our stay-at-home coverage to work on building comprehensive coverage of practical restrictions.

The chart below shows the expiration dates of the first issued stay-at-home orders.

The table below includes the states that issued a statewide order, the dates of the order, and a link to the executive order.
