Maybe some of the restaurants that deliver take out might pick up your items at the store and bring you their food order with the store order. Maybe a way to stay in business.

In Mexico, beach towns block themselves off because of virus
MEXICO CITY (AP) — In Mexico, beach towns have begun blocking off roads — in some cases, constructing barricades of rubble across roadways — to seal themselves off from the outside world in a bid to stop the new coronavirus from entering.

UPDATE ON SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WE ALL HAVE REGARDING THE QUARANTINE...
1- ONLY residents or citizens of Peñasco will be allowed into the city. Residents living... in the outskirts of town can also come to town to get essential supplies, again, only one person per vehicle, and they need to be wearing a mask, gloves, and glasses.
(This includes, Playa Encanto, Mayan Palace, Hacienda de Cortez, Laguna Shores, Las Lagrimas)
2 - Medical personnel that needs to travel outside the city, will also be placed in quarantine upon their return.
3. Workers that are currently working at the mines outside of PP will have to prove residency to be able to return to town.
4. Anyone coming into town that is recovering from surgery will be allowed to quarantine at home under supervision. If you were just going to a regular Dr. Appointment you will be placed on quarantine when you return.
5. Pregnant women will be allowed to attend to their appointments and check-ups in Peñasco.
6. All drivers that deliver essential supplies to town will be supervised/controlled. (Same, they have to be wearing a mask, gloves, and glasses)
7. Again, please 1 person in the car ONLY, and only leave the house if it is absolutely essential. (STARTING MONDAY THE 13TH AT 6AM)
8. And YES, if you are placed in quarantine YOU will be the one having to pay for the 12-day stay, WHY? Because you decided to leave the city. (we do not have the name of the hotel)
9. People arriving to Peñasco by bus/van/shuttle, will have to provide proof of residency and will be placed in quarantined.

April 13th - IMPORTANT UPDATE ON TOTAL RESTRICTED ACCESS TO PEÑASCO
The Puerto Peñasco Municipal Health and Security Board have unanimously approved extending ...restrictive prevention measures due to State and Federal Emergency measures against Covid-19 coronavirus.
* TOTAL restriction on access to the city, this applies as well to Puerto Peñasco residents coming in from elsewhere. This will be in effect for the next 15 days
* Only individuals with emergency medical concerns, or those that work within the food chain, will be allowed access.
* Puerto Peñasco residents that are outside of the sanitary barrier (i.e. Hacienda de Cortés, Las Lagrimas, Laguna Shores, Playa Encanto, as well as guests or workers at Mayan Palace, Islas del Mar, etc) may only access with one person per vehicle - showing identification and proof of residence/stay and/or address
* 24-hour Shelter in Place instruction, only one person can be aboard a vehicle, and only to carry out essential activities.
* Reduced business hours for essential activities - all businesses must close by 9 p.m.
* People not doing essential activities not allowed on streets
The mayor detailed, in line with the State mandatory Shelter at Home decree (April 13 - 30), the six essential activities that people may leave their homes for are:
1. To buy food, pharmaceutical and primary need products.
2. To go to health clinics, hospitals, or centers or an establishment with an essential service.
3. To go to workplaces for those continuing to work in essential activities.
4. Returning home
5. Helping or care for the elderly, dependent minors, persons with disabilities or that are particularly vulnerable.
6. Going to financial entities (banks)
“We know those taking part in the operatives are tired, distressed, and even desperate as the response from the community, though acceptable, is still lacking; this is why we shouldn’t let our guard down. Up to now we have overcome Covid-19, and have no confirmed cases in Puerto Peñasco,” stressed the mayor
www.facebook.com/groups/PuertoPenasco/?fref=nf
Not sure how having zero cases here is a good thing? They will eventually open back up and someone from within Mexico or outside of Mexico will visit and then what??? Everywhere else they are "slowing" the transmission to give people a chance to recover before the next set get it. Everything I have read says its like the flu and its not if you get it, but when you get it.

I live in Puerto Peñasco outside the “sanitary barrier”. So, I’ve been through it a couple of times after it got really serious, including this morning. It is really serious. I’ve needed to show documents going in and going out. Most critically my residence card and electric bill. My neighborhood office also just issued me a photo ID and an an official looking letter stating I live there. A neighbor who neglected to get his residence card was going to attempt to get admission to go to the grocery store using just the neighborhood issued documents, an electric bill, property tax bill etc. I haven’t checked in with him to see how it went.
You get stopped multiple times each way, by local police, Marina, Red Cross, etc. You get your skin temperature taken with an infrared thermometer.
This virus is killing a lot of seniors in the US. If you are over a certain age and have any pulmonary challenges or diabetes you might be looking at a coin flip. I have acquaintances living in Puerto Peñasco over the age of 65 with either emphysema, COPD, or heavy smoking. These people are sheltering in place.

The proper term is shelter at home. People are not sheltering in place.
