What jobs are considered “essential” by the order of Governor Newsome?
Besides the staffing of the businesses allowed to remain open, the order specifies activities needed “to maintain continuity of operation of the federal critical infrastructure sectors, critical government services, schools, childcare, and construction, including housing construction.”
What are the 16 “critical infrastructure sectors”?
According to the Department of Homeland Security, they are:
Chemical
Commercial facilities
Communications
Critical manufacturing
Dams
Defense industrial base
Emergency services
Energy
Financial service
Food and agriculture
Government facilities
Health care and public health
Information technology
Nuclear reactors, materials and waste
Transportation systems
Water and wastewater systems
For what other reasons can residents leave their homes?
Other than essential work, the written order does not specify allowable activities outside the home. But the state’s COVID-19 website says Californians also may leave home to:
Get food
Care for a relative or friend
Get necessary health care or critical medical supplies
