order from my county just to be sure. It was worth the time to know the details -- one of my family members later had a difference of opinion with their co-workers about whether or not their office was exempt, and having the text of the order at hand was helpful.

FWIW, also try to find out how vigorously the local law enforcement intends to be. The SF city officials said that their law enforcement would work to "ensure compliance" rather than attempt to "vigorously enforce" the order. IOW, they aren't looking to cite you (it's a misdemeanor to violate the order), but they will attempt to educate you about the order and encourage you to comply with it. Only if you persist/refuse to comply will they cite you. But with other agencies, or at later dates, it is always possible that "zero tolerance" or "ignorance is no excuse" could become the guiding principle.
