-We have a COVID-19 fact check for you to begin the news today.Because of things going around on Facebook, people have been getting some false information. The Governor has issued the “Safer at Home” Order, but that doesn’t mean we are under Martial Law. As of now, there is no nationwide lockdown or quarantine coming. There is no Martial Law. You don’t need a permit to leave your home. You don’t have to worry about the authorities kicking in your door to make sure you’re complying with the order. Police are not pulling people over and asking to see documents to confirm you’re doing essential travel. And yes some National Guard members have been activated in the state, but all they’re doing is providing food and water where needed, transporting medical supplies and tests and other items.
As it has been stated many times, they ask that you self-isolate and practice social distancing as much as you can. But you can still go outside and go for a walk, work in the yard, ride a bike, walk the dog etc. You can also still go and get groceries, go to the pharmacy, get gas, etc. When you’re looking for information, please make sure you’re getting your information from reputable news sources and take anything you see on Facebook with a large grain of salt. Verify the facts before you share the story or take it as gospel.
