Governor tate reeves announces a new executive order.
That's first at five today.
The governor's "safer at home" order goes into effect monday at 8am.
Not a lot has changed from the "shelter in place" order.
But there is one critical change.
Healthcare professionals can begin performing medical procedures - elective surgeries, for example, that had been put on hold under the previous order.
Also, retail stores will be able to operate under specific capacity restrictions.
Here is what will remain in place: businesses like entertainment venues - movies theaters, bowling alleys- will remain closed.
Salons, gyms, and barber shops will also remain closed unless they have products that can be sold either online or curbside.
Restaurants will continue to offer drive-thru, carryout, delivery service only.
The order also bans social and non-essential gatherings of more than 10 people.
The governor stressed that this approach is a measured one- not a light switch.
He is also urges you to continue to stay home except for essential travel.
The "safer at home" order is in effect for the next two weeks --again beginning monday at 8am.
Not all businesses are re-opening alongside the Safer at Home order, including gyms which could remain closed for another two..
Local leaders are reacting to Governor Tate Reeves’ safer-at-home order issued on Friday.
