Can I go to the grocery store?

Yes. The grocery store is one of the few public places you can still go -- just be strategic about it. This means going to the store when you suspect less people will be shopping. This could be late at night or early in the morning. Certain grocery store chains like Publix have set times for elderly shoppers to protect them from infection. Please abide by these policies as they are good for everyone.

Can I go to the doctor or dentist?

Not unless you have an urgent appointment or are seeking help
