"Mississippi's GOP governor overrode local coronavirus measures, reopening
some restaurants and classifying businesses like gun stores as 'essential'"
The governor of Mississippi on Tuesday issued an executive order overriding
local officials' responses to the coronavirus outbreak and classifying a
wide range of businesses — including gun shops, department stores,
home-repair services, mass transit, Uber and Lyft services, and real-estate
offices — as "essential."
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves has closed public schools and declared a state
of emergency in the past two weeks. As of Thursday, Mississippi had
reported more than 370 coronavirus cases and at least five deaths.
The executive order urged employees to work from home "to the extent
feasible" but also said many types of business were necessary for
maintaining community, public health, and the economy.
The order advised citizens to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people but
said that "this does not apply" to places such as offices, airports, and
grocery and department stores.
The order overrode several public-health measures that local authorities
had called for. It said that "any order, rule, regulation or action by any
governing body, agency or political subdivision of the state that imposes
any additional freedom of movement or social distancing limitations on
Essential Business or Operation, restricts scope of services or hours of
operation of any Essential Business or Operation, or which will or might in
any way conflict with or impede the purpose of this Executive Order is
suspended and unenforceable during this COVID-19 State of Emergency."
