“Social distancing is the best way to prevent spread, we ask that those non-essential businesses remain closed, and we ask that those that don’t need to travel, stay home. There are government code sections and health and safety code sections that could be used to enforce this, but our goal since the start is to get voluntary compliance, and it seems to be working,” McMahon said.
