    The aforesaid orders of the Governor shall be enforced by the Departments of  Health, Defense, and the State and local police and air pollution enforcement  personnel forces.  Those enforcing any Governor's order shall require no  further authority or warrant in executing same than the issuance of the order  itself.  Those authorized to enforce said orders may use such reasonable force  as is required in the enforcement thereof, and may take such reasonable steps  as are required to assure compliance therewith including, but without limiting  the generality of the foregoing, the following:

    (a) Entering any property or establishment whatsoever, commercial, industrial, or residential, believed to be violating said order (excepting single or double family homes or any dwelling unit within a multiple dwelling unit larger than a double family home) and, if a request does not produce compliance, causing compliance with said order;

    (b) Stopping, detouring, rerouting, and prohibiting motor vehicle travel and  traffic;

    (c) Disconnecting incinerator or other types of combustion facilities;

     (d) Terminating all burning activities;

     (e) Closing down or restricting the use of any business, commercial, retail,  manufacturing, industrial or other establishment.

     Where any person authorized to enforce such an order believes or suspects that same is being violated in a single or double family residence or within the dwelling portion of a large multiple dwelling unit, said residence or dwelling portion thereof may be entered only upon obtaining a search warrant from any judge having power to issue same.
