Every adult and child in the city limits.

Can I go out to dinner?
No.

You will be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor of either curfew violation or violation of an emergency order. Both are punishable by a maximum of six months in jail or a $1,000 fine. There is also a provision that allows up to a $5,000 fine for organized groups that violate the curfew.
