I live in a county that made more restrictions March 31st
We can't leave the county for non-essential purposes. We can't travel more than five miles for recreational purposes. We can only have ball play between members of the same household. We can't visit the households of friends or family unless there is urgent need. It's fine, and I'm glad they are being proactive. But I went to the track, and it's closed now. I went to the field at the community center and another field at the park. They are also closed. Playgrounds, outdoor gyms, and non-essential businesses have been closed since March 15. We live in an apartment with no yard and I force my kids to walk outside everyday, but my eight year old said he's sad he's only allowed to walk outside now, and that he's never allowed to play outside anymore.
We can only leave home for essentials and to go for walks. All recreation areas are closed because i live in a gateway community and the stupid people from the city thought it was perfectly fine to continue to come here for recreation. So now everything is closed except the essentials and we can get a $1000 fine and/or jail time if we don't listen.
Thankfully I have property for my kids to play on.

My state seems to be lagging in orders related to COVID-19. We just had our stay-at-home order put into effect 3 days ago and now our Governor has issued clarification for salons, barbers, tattoo parlors, etc to close effective April 4. Many are still open today. And as for the stay-at-home order, I've seen/heard absolutely nothing regarding enforcement.

After criticism and confusion about why hair and nail salons were still open, Gov. Doug Ducey has updated the list of businesses that must be closed.
The Governor's Office provided "additional guidance" on Friday about essential services. In the statement, he says barbers, cosmetology, hairstyling, nail salons, aesthetic salons, tanning salons, tattoo parlors, spas and massage parlors must be closed by 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 4.
Ducey also said amenities at public parks where social distancing can't be practiced are to close, such as basketball courts, splash pads, playgrounds and public restrooms. The parks can remain open "to the greatest extent possible," the statement said. Communal pools, like those at hotels and apartment complexes, will also be closed but should be kept maintained. Swap meets will no longer be allowed.

We have an Airbnb in the next county (about 1 1/2 hours away). It's shut down at least until middle of June (probably beyond) but I drove out there today to check on it and work a bit in the flower beds. I was stopped and told that was not considered essential travel.

Half my community still feels like it’s similar to a flu, I’m just thankful the other half is taking it a little
More seriously.
