Governor Mara Healey is urging people to stay indoors and hunker down if possible.

Healey is also asking residents to look in on their neighbors.

The state has ordered trucks off the highways unless they're carrying food, fuel, and medical supplies.

Non-essential state employees have been ordered to work from home Monday.

The private sector is being urged to do the same.
