In a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Governor Kevin Stitt announced non-essential businesses in Logan County and 18 other counties must close.
The ordering of non-essential businesses to close will begin at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25 for 21 days (April 14). Non-essential businesses are considered to be places of social gatherings, including hair salons, gyms, theaters, massage parlors, tattoo parlors, museums, etc.
Stitt recommends restaurants to stay open by offering takeout and delivery, but not to dine in.
