The Jefferson County Health Department on Thursday ordered that all nonessential businesses and services be suspended, updating an ongoing list of closures in response to COVID-19.

The new order prohibits any gathering of any kind that would be attended by more than 10 people or any activity that would not allow people to keep a distance of six feet between themselves and others.

It includes all of the restrictions that previously had been imposed by the county health department to create one list of nonessential businesses and services that must suspend operations, and it restates orders to close operations such as schools and day cares.

The new list of nonessential businesses and services ordered closed until April 6 is below. See the complete order here.
