Title
Gov. Scott imposes new temporary limitations on social gatherings and business operations.
Description
Gov. Scott "announced a ban on inter-household gatherings, the closure of bars and social clubs and the cancellation of recreational sports leagues as the Covid-19 case count rises in Vermont. The decision follows a spate of new cases: 72 reported on Wednesday, 116 on Thursday (adjusted from 109 by the health department) and 84 on Friday. Hospitalizations have also increased in Vermont to 21 Covid cases. Three people are in intensive care units." --Erin Petenko and Colin Meyn, vtdigger, https://vtdigger.org/2020/11/13/scott-bans-multi-family-gatherings-in-vermont-closes-bars-and-clubs/
