We'll only combat this pandemic if we work together

John, It's become abundantly clear that COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon. It's up to all of us to do our part to protect our friends, family, neighbors, and ourselves right now to prevent further spread of this virus. That's why today I issued a new executive order giving counties one we…
