Governor Pete Ricketts issued an updated Directed Health Measure Wednesday than included an additional 15-counties bringing the total counties under DHM is 56.
Under this new DHM, schools statewide are directed to operate without students in their buildings through May 31, 2020. Extracurricular activities are also cancelled statewide. This restriction does not apply to school staff working in school buildings.
A DHM imposes an enforceable limit on public gatherings. Among other steps, the DHM requires restaurants and bars in these areas to close their dining areas immediately and move to takeout, delivery, and/or curbside service only until further notice. It also does not apply to daycares that may be operated at a school per the Governor’s executive order regarding childcare.
