In terms of what a person cannot do, the list is quite extensive and is dependent on the location. For example, one Bay Area shelter-in-place order prohibits going outside at all unless it is essential. This forbids walking, biking, taking a car, or any other form of travel. Most shelter-in-place orders ban public gatherings, even with social distancing. Businesses like restaurants can continue to provide drive-through or delivery services, but dining in is prohibited.
