City of Centennial COVID Update

 
Dear Centennial community,
 
I am sure you are well aware that we are under a Stay-At-Home Order through April 11. Below is a list I found helpful in identifying what is permitted vs. not permitted during a Stay-At-Home Order. *This is not a comprehensive list so please refer to the order for a complete list of essential activities and services, as well as social distancing requirements.
 
Permitted:

• Getting medical care for you, a family member or your pet
• Visiting a health care professional
• Getting medical supplies or medication
• Going to get groceries, food (via takeout, drive-thru, food banks/pantries) or other essential household items
• Getting supplies to work from home
• Picking up materials from your child’s school needed for distance learning (tablet, books)
• Going outside for physical activity, as long as you stay at least 6 feet away from people who are not in your household and follow social distancing practices
• Going to work, ONLY if you provide essential products or services at an essential business (health care operations, infrastructure operations and maintenance, certain government functions) 

 
Not Permitted:

• In-person public or private gatherings of any size with people outside of your residence 
• Traveling, except to get or provide essential services or medical care 
• Carpooling with anyone outside of your residence
