Exceptions include critical government facilities providing essential services, schools or institutions of higher learning, grocery stores, retail stores in excess of 15,000 square feet, construction sites, pharmacies. hospitals and medial offices, nursing homes, and similar facilities.

This does not prevent the gathering of members of living unit.
