- The order means that insurance companies must take steps to do the following until the order expires:
- Extend all deadlines for policyholders to report claims or submit other communications related to claims
- Take all practicable steps to provide opportunities for policyholders to report claims
- Immediately institute a grace period for premium payments for all insurance policies issued, delivered, or covering a risk in the affected areas
