If you go outside you need to know what is legal or not and that could change day to day though. Your city could have a curfew, require a form justifying your errands or whatnot. I normally don't read news at all but in this specific times some type of awareness is required.

You should read that sort of info directly from the source. eg. your city or goverment web page. Not spoon fed by facebook, news sites, et.al.

which source? do I have to scour all of the following on a rolling basis: city, county, state federal websites? Which departments at each level? seems a lot easier to just visit <mylocalnews>.com and get info displayed in order of (relative) importance.

edit: a word

My address is well documented. If the government wants to tell me something, they know where to find me.
