The Governor has declared that domestic violence survivors are exempt from his Stay-at-Home order and that shelters are essential services and should continue providing services. This guidance is intended to help programs serve survivors and their families as safely as possible. Also included is guidance for how shelters should respond when survivors are seeking services and residents have symptoms of the virus or have tested positively for it.
