‘Stay Home’ Order: What’s Still Open or Operating in the Coachella Valley?

Governor Gavin Newsom Thursday night issued a Stay-at-Home order to help the state counteract the spread of COVID-19. This order essentially means the state is telling Californians to stay at home, unless you need to attend essential services or go to work for certain business sectors.

So what specific services are closed and open?

Some examples of essential services are gas stations, pharmacies, food, banks, and laundromats.

Under order of the state, all restaurant dining rooms must close. Many restaurants are offering pick up and delivery. Bars and nightclubs, salons, entertainment venues, gyms and fitness studios, public events and gatherings and convention centers are all closed.
