To clarify: This 10 person restriction is the same one that has been in effect for a while in regions 1-5 & 7 (most of the state south of the top of the mitten). ALL this 10 person limit applies to are situations where people congregate in close proximity – parties, meetings, programs, weddings, etc. It DOES NOT apply to library occupancy overall. Libraries in regions 1-5, & 7 are still under the occupancy restrictions in section 6 of E) 2020-175 (the workplace restrictions) that restrict libraries and retail to 25% of occupancy for buildings with less than 50,000 sq ft of public space, and to 1 person per 100 sq ft for those libraries and retail with buildings of more than 50,000 sq ft of public space. Libraries in regions 6 & 8 are exempt from the occupancy limitations in EO 2020-175, but must limit situations where people from different households may get together for a shared activity. Thanks!

Did she ever publicly announce this? As an example, theaters (gyms, etc.) can be open, but we can only limit to 10 indoors at a time? I have 9 staff at a branch, do I have to shut it down? I am not cutting my staffs hours as they desperately need the money. There is nothing they can do at home. But sports and schools can be open (exempt)? Can I just get some clarification on this.
