The new order extends that into early May and includes new restrictions, including the closure of playgrounds, ballfields, and soccer fields in the city's 120 parks.... The Mayor ordered that portable toilets in the parks be closed and removed.... The campground at Jefferson Memorial Forest will also be closed. All dog parks... are closed... Metro Codes and Regulations will extend the expiration date on all Itinerant Vendors, Peddlers, and Solicitors licenses and permits from March 31 to May 31, 2020....
