The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have rolled out “a common set of rules,” which include, closing casinos, gyms and movie theaters, as well as limiting restaurants to only takeout and delivery services.

New restrictions in the three states will go into effect at 8 PM eastern time tonight. On top of the closures and banning of crowds of 50 or more, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said he is also discouraging any non-emergency travel in his state “between the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily. This will remain in effect for the foreseeable future.”

The closures in New York from Governor Andrew Cuomo do not come as a surprise as New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio announced only a day before he will be signing an executive order temporarily ordering the closing of nightclubs, movie theaters and concert venues. Restaurants, bars and cafes will also be turned into take-out and delivery services only, similar to an order Illinois put into effect on Sunday.
