Notes
Cited here for the sector clause.
Retrieval noteThe list was revised on Mar. 20 and again later, so this capture may already carry the Mar. 20 revision rather than the Mar. 19 original. The orders themselves (Governor and Secretary of Health, Mar. 19, 2020) are separate documents not in this exhibit.
