States are compiling lists of open Wi-Fi access points for residents who do not have home broadband access.  While accessing these sites may be in violation of social distancing and shelter-in-place directives, some people may choose to use this option.

Open Wi-Fi SSIDs are potentially a security risk to users.  Use of VPNs and secure website is highly recommended.
