This has been very helpful, and will ease the minds of my employees that are needed to go into the library. There are only a couple of us, and we are not going very often, but this helps. I will formulate a letter from the info provided and in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-21 (COVID-19) for each of us to carry on us. Thank you so much!

That's what I heard, too. However, how do we show that we work for government entities? I have business cards, but do those suffice to demonstrate that we can be going to work?
Thank you!

Clare, if you see this can you confirm?
EO 2020-21 Sec, 6, c " or purposes of this order, necessary government activities include minimum basic operations, as described in section 4(b). Workers performing such activities need not be designated."

Have any of you written an exemption letter for these employees so they can still enter the buildings without fear of breaking the executive order? If you have could you please share? Thank you.
