當天早些時候，馬里蘭州和馬薩諸塞州的州長周一發(fā)布行政命令，下令關閉本州內的非必要企業(yè)，因為遏制這種致命冠狀病毒擴散的競賽正在加劇。

In Maryland, Gov. Larry Hogan issued a new executive order effective at 5 p.m. ET., which he referred to as "immediate, additional mitigation and social distancing actions."

在馬里蘭州，州長拉里·霍根發(fā)布了一項新的行政命令，將于美國東部時間下午5點生效，他稱之為“立即、額外的緩解措施和社會疏遠行動”。

The executive order closes all nonessential businesses, organizations, establishments and facilities in the state.

行政命令關閉了該州所有非必要的企業(yè)、組織、機構和設施。

"Let me be clear, we are not issuing or ordering a shelter in place directive or forcing people to stay home," Hogan said. He reiterated that Marylanders should follow previous state-wide directives, including the new state law prohibiting crowds of more than 10 people. Hogan's announcement comes as the state has 288 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in all but three of Maryland's 24 counties. The governor also announced its latest coronavirus-related death, a woman in her 40s.

霍根說:“我要說明的是，我們不會發(fā)布或下令建立臨時避難所，也不會強迫人們呆在家里。”他重申，馬里蘭人應該遵循以前全州范圍內的指示，包括新的州法律禁止超過10人的聚眾?；舾歼@一消息的同時，在馬里蘭州24個縣中，除3個縣外，其他所有縣都有288例COVID-19確診病例。州長還宣布了最近一起與冠狀病毒相關的死亡，死者是一名40多歲的女性。

Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts issued a similar directive ordering all non-essential businesses to "cease in person operation."

馬薩諸塞州州長查理·貝克也發(fā)布了類似的指令，要求所有非必要的企業(yè)“停止現場運營”。

The order is set to go into effect Tuesday at noon and go through Tues., April 7 at noon. Businesses that provide essential services, such as restaurants and pharmacies, are excluded. Liquor stores and medical marijuana shops can also remain open.

該命令將于周二中午生效，并將于4月7日中午通過。提供基本服務的企業(yè)，如餐館和藥店，不包括在內。酒類商店和醫(yī)用大麻商店也可以繼續(xù)營業(yè)。

Baker's order advises residents to stay at home and to forgo unnecessary travel during the two-week period. The Baker administration adds it, "does not believe Massachusetts residents can be confined to their homes and does not support home confinement for public health reasons."

貝克命令建議居民呆在家里，在兩周內放棄不必要的旅行。貝克政府補充說，“不相信馬薩諸塞州的居民可以被限制在家里，也不支持出于公共衛(wèi)生原因的家庭監(jiān)禁。”
