22 States with Shelter in Place Orders as of March 26th


From the New York Times article:
See Which States and Cities Have Told Residents to Stay at Home

"This means at least 212 million people in 22 states, 64 counties, 16 cities and one territory are being urged to stay home."

The NYT article did not include Montana, where the governor issued a Shelter in Place order that takes effect on Saturday, March 28.  Montana would be the 23rd state to ask residents to stay home, unless another state takes action earlier.

Montana's Governor issued a shelter in place order shortly before the first COVID-19 death happened in the state.

"The order to stay at home, which takes effect Saturday at 12:01 a.m. and expires April 10, will have a dramatic effect on day-to-day life here. Bullock said Thursday he understands the hardships it places on Montanans, but told residents it's a necessary step to do everything possible to try to prevent an even sharper spike in COVID-19 cases that would flood the state's health care system."
