TFA explicitly mentions some things you're talking about:
>Everyone is to work from home, or stop working, unless they provide an essential service, which includes health care workers; police, fire and other emergency responders; and utility providers such as electricians, plumbers, and sanitation workers.
- wolfgang42 7y agoThe only thing that covers is electricians and plumbers, and that in the context of utility providers; it's not clear whether it also covers them if they don't work for a utility company. [Edited for clarity.] Edit2, from the FAQ that was just posted: "plumbers, electricians, exterminators, and other service providers who provide services that are necessary to maintaining the safety and sanitation" are exempt from the order.
- gothroach 7y agoThat's what I'd like to have clarified - I'm an electrician but not a utility worker.
- csense 7y agoI know an electrician who was doing a job in a hospital last week. Even if an electrician doesn't work for a utility company, isn't it pretty vital that medical facilities are able to call him/her in if needed? I'm also thinking it's not wise to forbid services to homes. Yes, this risks homeowners and workers spreading coronavirus. But there are bigger risks from people going extended periods without electricity / running water.
