Beginning as soon as possible but no later than April 2, 2020 at 5:00 pm, and continuing while the declared emergency is in effect, all veterinary facilities must implement a plan to temporarily postpone all in-person non-essential veterinary services until the declared emergency has ended ('plan'). 2.

A veterinary facility must comply with the restrictions contained in its plan. 5. For purposes of this order, 'non-essential veterinary services' means all non-agricultural veterinary services other than those that are: (1) necessary to preserve the life of an animal...; (2) necessary to treat serious pain...; (3) necessary to euthanize an animal...; or (4) necessary to treat or prevent the transmission of any infectious disease that can be transmitted between animals and human beings... 9.
