With the coronavirus outbreak raging throughout the country, governors in many states have had to draw tough lines when determining what businesses count as “essential” amid lockdowns and social distancing mandates.

In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis decided this week to amend his stay-at-home order to include — among grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies and other businesses vital to those who live in the state — the WWE as an “essential business,” allowing it to continue filming, although without a live audience.

Trucker protest could impact Super Bowl fans, officials warn

Super Bowl this weekend. The DHS said in a bulletin sent to local and state law enforcement agencies that it has received reports that truckers are planning to "potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities" in a protest against vaccine mandates and other issues. DHS said the convoy could begin in Southern California as early as this weekend, possibly disrupting traffic around the Super Bowl, and reach Washington in March in time for the State of the Union, according to a copy of Tuesday’s bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. It said that the protest could be disruptive and tie up traffic but that there have been no calls for violence. Meanwhile, the truck blockade by Canadians protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions is tightening the screws on the auto industry, forcing Ford, General Motors and other car companies to shut down plants or otherwise reduce production on both sides of the U.S.
