State and local governments are continuing to respond accordingly. Yesterday the State Board of Education announced that all schools would close until April 6th and last night Sapulpa Mayor announced a proclamation of a State of Emergency for the city, enacting new requirements for city-owned facilities, and new guidelines for some local businesses.

Some restaurants and businesses are closing or opening under modifying operations following the state’s and city’s announcements. We’re keeping a running list here.
