Enforcement

As PA-002 and PA-003

Notes

Restaurants 'Yes' meant carry-out only under Section 2 of PA-002. Physician, dental, outpatient and hospital rows carried the notation 'Elective procedures prohibited' (per the prior engagement's reading and the Nov. 17, 2020 hospital memorandum, PA-069). The captured version marks 'Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers' Yes; the Mar. 20, 2020 amended list removed real estate, and the Governor's May 19, 2020 amendment (PA-058) authorized in-person real-estate operations 'beginning on May 19, 2020'; treat the real-estate row as superseded.
