I would imagine each jurisdiction would be different, but here's what the feds 
have to say:

Evidently here in Illinois it is being called a "stay at home" order. 

I'm not worried about gas stations closing, and grocery stores and drug stores 
will stay open. Although I drove by a grocery store this afternoon and the 
parking lot was entirely full, so people are probably panic buying again. 

I'm still a little unclear on whether we should still book new installs unless 
there's some demonstrable emergency. I'm not looking for a way to challenge the 
order, just to figure out what we are supposed to be doing. I sense there's 
uncertainty about things like home remodeling companies, it seemed like 
carpenters, electricians, etc. were scurrying today to finish up some projects 
near me as if they think they will be shut down. 

It also occurred to me that while gas stations and grocery stores will stay 
open, I'm not sure about Ace Hardware, Home Depot, etc. Will I got to get 
supplies and find all the stores closed? I guess the alternative is Amazon, 
McMaster, Zoro, etc. and have it delivered. I'd just like to know before I need 
a tube of RTV or some bolts that day and find out everything is closed. 

What if someone needs a plumber or electrician to fix something at their house, 
I'd guess those are essential services?

Here in NV they specifically stated "utilities as defined in NRS Chapter 704". 
I assume other states would have something similar.
