From USA Today:
“US reopening: Which states have
relaxed restrictions? Find out what your state is doing”
Dozens of states have announced
plans to relax social distancing restrictions aimed at not only curbing the
spread of the coronavirus, but also bringing the faltering economy back to
life. Some states have simple plans. Others have more ambitious ones. Leaders
around the country have expressed concern that opening too soon could allow for
a deadly second wave of virus spread, causing further damage to the United
States' already battered economy. “Unless
we get the virus under control, the real recovery, economically, is not going
to happen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top authority on infectious
diseases, said. Trump, who announced guidelines April 16 for states to start
opening their economies, is has pushed to relax the U.S. lockdown by May 1, a
plan that hinges partly on more coronavirus testing. Several states announced
plans to coordinate their response with neighbors: California is moving forward
in coordination with Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada; governors from
Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts have also announced plans to form a joint task force.
Here is how all 50 states – and
Washington D.C. – are making moves to roll back social distancing regulations.
We will keep this file updated as measures are announced:
Alabama: Gov. Kay Ivey said April 24 that the state's
stay-at-home order will remain through April 30. Rep. Danny Garrett said that
Ivey will be holding a press conference April 28 to outline "her plans to
begin reopening the state’s economy."
Alaska: On April 24, Alaska began allowing
restaurants to resume dine-in service and retail shops and other businesses to
reopen, all with limitations, under an initial phase of a plan to restart parts
of the economy. At least one city, Juneau, asked that business owners wait for
local officials to weigh in. Gatherings have been limited to 20 people, or 25%
maximum capacity, whichever number is smaller and can now include guests from
other households. Social distancing, however, must be obeyed. Religious
services must also follow the gathering guidelines. Gov. Mike Dunleavy and
health officials have issued a number of health orders as a part of the phased
Reopen Alaska Responsibly Plan.
Arizona: On April 22, Gov. Doug Ducey announced that
hospitals and outpatient centers could resume elective surgeries on May 1, the
same day a statewide stay-at-home is set to expire. That order could be
modified, extended or expire at that time, Ducey said.
Arkansas: Gov. Asa Hutchinson announced April 22 the
state wold begin lifting restrictions on elective medical procedures beginning
the following week. Decisions on whether to lift restrictions on restaurants,
gyms, barbershops, beauty salons and large venues would also be announced at
the end of April and into the first days of May, he said. Those decisions will
come after the state conducts a two-day "surge" of testing in late
April.
California: Gov. Gavin Newsom said April 22 that California
was not prepared "to open up large sectors of our society" but made
the first modification to the state's stay-at-home order with the resumption of
"essential" surgeries. “Tumors, heart valves, the need for people to
get the kind of care they deserve," Newsom said. "If it’s delayed, it
becomes acute. This fundamentally is a health issue.” The guidelines became
effective immediately. Meanwhile, San
Diego announced April 24 that beaches could reopen for various forms of
exercise beginning at sunrise on April 27. Boardwalks, piers, and parking lots
remained closed; gatherings were still banned and beachgoers should maintain
social distancing and wear a face covering, the city said.
Colorado: One week before the
state's stay-at-home order lifted April 27, Gov. Jared Polis announced the next
phase, called "safer at home": The goal is for Coloradans to maintain
60%-65% social distancing, and vulnerable residents should continue to shelter
in place. Polis said the state will work with non-essential businesses on
guidelines to phase in reopening beginning May 1. Personal services – such as
hair salons, dog groomers and tattoo parlors – can reopen with strict
guidelines in place. Retail opened for curbside April 27; there will be
phased-in opening for in-person operations beginning May 1. Gyms remain closed.
Schools will remain closed, and bars and restaurants will not immediately
reopen. On April 27, Colorado also joined California, Oregon, Washington and
Nevada in the Western States Pact, a coalition that shares aligns reopening
plans with other states in the region.
Connecticut: On April 10, Gov.
Ned Lamont extended that state's stay-at-home order through May 20 and
cautioned that gradual reopening may be even later than that, citing the need
for increased testing.
Delaware: Reopening the state
will happen in phases, according to a April 23 statement from the Gov. John
Carney. The state doesn't want to fully reopen its economy yet because it wants
to avoid a resurgence in new cases. Reopening would start with opening up
certain sectors such as restaurants, gyms, theaters and churches, while still
requiring social distancing in those places. Schools and bars would likely not
be among the first to reopen, and people would still be asked to work remotely
if they can.
Florida: Gov. Ron DeSantis gave
some municipalities the green light April 17 to reopen beaches with restricted
hours for walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, swimming, taking care of
pets and surfing. In Jacksonville, people enthusiastically flocked to beaches
when they reopened, drawing criticism on social media. DeSantis said schools
would remain closed through the end of the academic year. On April 20, he also
announced a “Re-Open Florida Task Force,” whose executive committee includes 22
elected officials and corporate executives, such as president of Walt Disney
World Resort Josh D’Amaro and CEO of Universal Orlando Resort John Sprouls. DeSantis
has asked his state coronavirus task force for recommendations around late
April on a plan for the first phase of reopening the state. Sarasota's beaches
reopened on a limited basis April 27.
Georgia: Gyms, tattoo parlors,
hair and nail salons, massage therapists wereamong businesses allowed to reopen
in Georgia on April 24, less than a month after the state forced them to close
amid the coronavirus pandemic. In-person
religious services resumed over the April 25-26 weekend, and restaurants and
theaters reopenedon April 27 with "specific social distancing and
sanitation mandates."
Hawaii: On April 25, Gov. David
Ige announced that he would be extending the state's stay-at-home directive and
mandatory quarantine for travelers entering Hawaii through May 31. Ige did say
that beaches could be used to access oceans for outdoor water exercise like
swimming and surfing and for "running, jogging, or walking on the beach,
so long as social distancing requirements are maintained." The latest
order indicates that elective surgeries can resume "as each facility
determines to be appropriate."
Idaho: Gov. Brad Little announced
on April 23 a four-phase plan to begin on May 1 for restoring normal activity
in Idaho. His stay-at-home order remains in effect until April 30. Little
didn't say if that will be extended. Little’s plan will begin with similar
conditions to his stay-at-home order with both public and private gatherings to
be avoided. Churches and almost all retail shops could open as long as they
follow strict physical distancing guidelines and other protocols.
Illinois: Before his stay-at-home order was set to
expire at the end of April, Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced April 23 that he would
be signing an extension that runs through May 30. The modified order will go
into effect May 1 and allows state parks to begin a phased re-opening; allows
greenhouses, garden centers and nurseries to re-open as essential businesses;
requires individuals to wear a face-covering or a mask when in a public place
where they can’t maintain a six-foot social distance and more. “Illinois is now
looking at peak or plateau of deaths per day somewhere between late April and
early May,” Pritzker said.
Indiana: Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said routine care
like dentist's offices, abortion clinics, dermatology offices and veterinary
clinics reopened on April 27. Holcomb's
latest order went into effect on April 20 and ends on May 1. All of the
policies regarding staying at home except for essential activities are still in
place. The order begins a potential progression of easing restrictions on
health care providers to perform elective procedures. The state banned elective
procedures on March 23 in order to preserve providers' personal protective
equipment, or PPE, and dedicate all resources to an expected surge of COVID-19
patients.
Iowa: Gov. Kim Reynolds said April 27 that select
businesses in 77 of Iowa's 99 counties can resume operating, with limited
capacity, starting May 1. Those include restaurants, fitness centers and retail
stores, which must obey 50% limitations on normal operating capacity. Social,
community, recreational and leisure sporting events can open with limits to 10
people and spiritual and religious gatherings must adhere to social distancing
guidelines. Malls can also open at 50% operating capacity, but must keep play
areas and other common seating areas, such as food courts, closed. Reynolds
also said on April 24 she will allow elective surgeries and farmers markets to
open with some restrictions. She described it as a first step in a long process
of reopening Iowa's economy.
Kansas: Gov. Laura Kelly signed
an executive order April 16 that extended the state's stay-at-home directive
through May 3. Calling it the "biggest frustration" she had, Kelly
said April 23 the state was "nowhere near where we need to be with testing
supplies" and added that the shortage could lengthen the time the
stay-at-home remains in place.
Kentucky: State officials described how a phased
reopening of health care services in Kentucky began April 27. Providers resumed
nonurgent health care services, diagnostic radiology and lab services in
clinics and medical offices, physical therapy settings, chiropractic offices,
optometrists and dental offices. "We've got to do it smart, we've got to
do it safe and we've got to do it gradual," Gov. Andy Beshear said.
"None of us want us to reopen our economy in a way that sets us back,
causes a spike that means more people have died and keeps our economy closed
for longer."
Louisiana: Gov. John Bel Edwards will reveal details of
the planned phase one May 1 reopening of the state as soon as April 27, but
warned the easing of restrictions will be gradual and come with conditions. Edwards
doesn't plan to extend the order, but instead replace it with a schedule of
reopening the economy if the state continues to see its trajectory of cases,
hospitalizations and symptoms stabilize and decline.
Maine: A "Stay Healthy At Home" order will
expire April 30, but Gov. Janet Mills said April 27 that it will likely be
extended the following day. Mills had
hinted on April 23 that the state would look to implement a gradual reopening
with four principles in place: protecting public health, maintaining health
care readiness, building reliable and accessible testing and prioritizing
public-private collaboration.
Maryland: Gov. Larry Hogan said
April 24 that Maryland could be ready by early May to begin phase one of its
three-phase recovery process. Maryland isn't ready to lift restrictions right
now, but the governor said he's optimistic. Phase one: Lifting the stay-at-home
order, reopening many small businesses and restarting low-risk community
activities Phase two: Allow for a larger number of businesses to reopen,
including restaurants and bars, with significant safety precautions in place. Phase
three: Begin permitting larger events and lessening restrictions even further. “If
we try to rush this and if we don't do it in a thoughtful and responsible way,
it could cause a rebound of the virus, which could deepen the economic crisis,
prolong the fiscal problems and slow our economic recovery,” Hogan said.
Massachusetts: Gov. Charlie Baker said April 27 that the
state will announce later in the week whether a stay-at-home advisory will be
extended. The order is set to expire May
4. "We believe it's important for us to create some clarity around this
with respect to May 4, and you'll hear from us later this week on that,"
Baker said. "The trend data remains reasonably high. We'll be putting
something out later this week."
Michigan: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive
order April 24 that extended her stay-at-home edict past its May 1 expiration,
but also alters it to relax some regulations. Among the changes, the order: Allows
certain businesses that had been closed, like plant nurseries and bicycle
repair shops, to reopen, but under social distancing guidelines. Permits some
outdoor activities, including motorized boating and golf, to resume, though the
use of golf carts still is prohibited. Says businesses which had been
restricted or closed because they were deemed to provide nonessential items can
reopen, but only for curbside pickup or delivery. And it allows large retailers
to reopen certain parts of their stores, like their garden centers or paint
sections.
Minnesota: Some businesses will be able to reopen April
27 under an executive order signed April 23 by Gov. Tim Walz. The order will
allow "industrial, manufacturing and office-based businesses that are not
customer-facing to return to work beginning on Monday," with conditions,
Department of Employment and Economic Development Steve Grove said during the
conference. Another executive order closed schools in Minnesota through the end
of the school year. Previously, on April 17, Walz signed an executive order
that reopened outdoor recreational businesses, including golf courses, bait
shops, public and private marinas and outdoor shooting ranges. The order went
into effect the following day and requires residents to adhere to social
distancing guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Mississippi: Gov. Tate Reeves on April 24 issued a new
executive order for Mississippians that he calls "Safer-at-Home,"
which allows most retail stores to open with certain guidelines, but keeps
other businesses closed. "We are starting to reopen out economy," he
said. "But we are not slamming the door wide open. It's not a light switch
that you turn on and off. It's a dimmer." The new order took effect at 8
a.m. April 27 and will remain in effect until May 11. It allowed clothing, gift and other retail
locations to open, but owners and managers must take precautions such as
sending home sick employees, wearing masks in common areas, using proper
sanitation procedures, providing hand sanitizer for customers and limiting the
number of customers at any given time. Reeves said the businesses that won't be
allowed to open are ones that generally involve close, interpersonal contact,
such as movie theaters, museums, casinos, entertainment venues and gyms.
Missouri: On April 27, Gov. Mike Parson announced the
first phase of the "Show Me Strong Recovery" plan that will allow all
Missouri businesses to open May 4, provided social distancing requirements are
followed. Proper hygiene and hand washing is also encouraged. “Opening these
businesses is going to look very different for a while, but I’m confident
Missourians will abide by the guidelines as we move forward,” Parson said. For
businesses of less than 10,000 square feet, number of employees should be
limited to 25% of the maximum capacity, while that figure drops to 10% for
retailers of 10,000 square feet or more. The state's stay-at-home order expires
May 3.
Montana: On April 22, Gov. Steve Bullock announced a
phased reopening plan that allowed church services to resume April 26 and
retail businesses on April 27 "if they can adhere to requirements to limit
capacity and maintain strict physical distancing." Restaurants, casinos,
bars, breweries and distilleries can open May 4 with limited capacity. Schools
will can return to "in-classroom teaching delivery at the discretion of
local school boards" on May 7.
Nebraska: Gov. Pete Ricketts announced on April 24
plans to loosen the state's coronavirus restrictions on May 4. Ricketts said he
will relax restrictions in 59 counties, including Douglas, Sarpy and Cass in
the Omaha area, but not Lancaster, which includes Lincoln. The new orders,
which will be in effect until May 31, will allow restaurants in chosen counties
to reopen their dining rooms with reduced occupancy and other restrictions. Salons and tattoo parlors in those areas will
be allowed to reopen as long as they prevent more than 10 people from gathering
in one place. The state will also relax restrictions on day care centers in
those regions, allowing up to 15 children per room instead of the current 10. Statewide,
Ricketts said churches will be allowed to resume in-person services, weddings
and funerals with some restrictions. Nebraska is one of the handful of states
without a formal stay-at-home order, although many of the restrictions Ricketts
imposed are similar.
Nevada: Gov. Steve Sisolak on April 21 unveiled a
framework to gradually restart the state’s economy — starting with gyms,
certain restaurants and some outpatient surgery facilities, and working slowly
toward casinos and other nonessential businesses first shuttered on March 17. The first-term Democratic governor said he
didn’t have a firm date when the first of those businesses can expect to
reopen, a process he said would depend on the state’s progress toward an array
of virus testing and containment criteria set by state and federal health
experts. Sisolak said Nevada schools
will remain closed for the rest of the school year. On April 27, Nevada also
joined California, Oregon, Washington and Colorado in the Western States Pact,
a coalition that shares aligns reopening plans with other states in the region.
New Hampshire: Gov. Chris Sununu issued a stay-at-home mandate
that is set to expire May 4. But on April 24, he extended a state of emergency
declaration through at least May 15, saying the outbreak has "expanded
significantly."
New Jersey: Gov. Phil Murphy issued a stay-at-home order
March 21 that had no specific end date. On April 27, he said it would be in
place "until further notice." Given the sustained deaths and
hospitalizations related to COVID-19 and the lag in testing capacity, Murphy
acknowledged that he doesn't know when the state will be able to "start
this journey" of reopening. Murphy
said improving testing and contract tracing must come before the state's
economic life returns to normal.
New Mexico: Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on April 22
presented criteria the state would use to determine if the state's hospital
system had the capacity to allow business to resume in phases. Some
non-essential businesses would reopen in the first phase while gatherings would
still be prohibited. In subsequent phases, more business would be allowed to
reopen while requirements for physical distancing and limits on gatherings
would remain in effect. No dates have yet been set for when those phases may
begin.
New York: Gov. Andrew Cuomo said April 27 that he would
extend the "New York State on PAUSE" plan in regions most-impacted by
the virus beyond May 15, the date by which the stay-at-home restrictions were
to be lifted. Areas not as severely impacted may see a gradual easing of
restrictions. He added that the state would "be smart about it" and
would follow CDC guidelines that recommend states show a 14-day decline in
cases and would consider continued social distancing and face mask measures. On
April 18, New York joined Connecticut and New Jersey in opening up their
marinas, boatyards and boat launches for recreational use. The state updated
its guidance for golf courses, opening the door for public and private courses
to open. Golfers will have to walk the course and carry their own bags without
a motorized cart, according to Dani Lever, Cuomo's communication director.
North Carolina: The state's stay-at-home order will extend
through May 8, Gov. Roy Cooper announced April 23. When trends improve, the
state will use a three-phase approach to gradually ease restrictions. "If
our infections spike or our benchmark trends start to move in the wrong
direction, we may have to move back to a previous phase to protect public
health," Cooper said. In phase one,
a stay-at-home order remains in place, but people can leave home for more
commercial activities (including shopping at certain retail stores). Among the
other changes in the first phase: Gatherings would be limited to no more than
10 people but parks can open, subject to gathering limits.
North Dakota: Trump said on April 18 that North Dakota
"advised nonessential businesses to prepare for a phased reopening
starting May 1." Burgum said April 21 the state plans to increase testing
and contact tracing to protect residents and meet White House guidelines to put
people back to work.
Ohio: On April 27, Gov. Mike DeWine unveiled his
plan to reopen Ohio's economy in several phases. Starting on May 1, healthcare
procedures and operations that don't require an overnight stay can resume, as
can dental visits and trips to the vet. On May 4, construction, manufacturing
and distribution business can reopen. And on May 12, consumer and retail
business can reopen. All businesses that reopen must provide face coverings for
employees, conduct health assessments to ensure workers are "fit for
duty," practice proper hygiene and social distancing, clean workplaces
throughout the day and limit capacity to a maximum of 50% of the normal amount.
Some businesses like restaurants,
daycares, schools, bars, theaters and gyms will remain closed.
Oklahoma: Gov. Kevin Stitt enacted a plan called
"Open Up and Recover Safely" April 22 that allowed personal care
businesses to open April 24 by appointment only. These include hair salons,
barber shops, spas, nail salons and pet groomers and must follow sanitation and
social distancing guidelines. Customers are encouraged to wait in their cars
until the time of their appointments. Churches will open May 1 "if they
leave every other row or pew open" and follow social distancing measures.
Restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and tattoo parlors (by appointment only) can
also open May 1.
Oregon: Starting May 1, Oregon medical providers can
resume non-urgent medical procedures, Gov. Kate Brown announced April 23. Brown
had ordered providers to stop doing non-emergency procedures in an effort to
preserve hospital space and protective gear like gowns, masks and gloves to
care for COVID-19 patients. The move is what Brown calls a "step
forward" as the state ponders loosening some restrictions meant to limit
the spread of new cases of COVID-19.
Pennsylvania: Gov. Tom Wolf announced on April 22 a
three-phase, color-coded plan that will be used to reopen the state's counties
in the coming weeks; select restrictions could be lifted in some areas as soon as
May 8. He said several metrics will be used to move counties from red, yellow
or green status. "Red, obviously, is the phase we are in right now,"
Wolf said. "The move to yellow and green will be data-driven,
evidence-based decisions. Right now we are looking at counties that have under
50 cases per 100,000 individuals over the course of 14 days to return to
work." Wolf said the move to yellow would lift stay-at-home restrictions
in favor of aggressive mitigation and would open in-person retail, although
curbside and delivery is preferable. Indoor recreation, health and wellness
facilities and all entertainment would remain closed. Restaurants and bars
would be limited to carryout and delivery. Wolf also announced that he will
reopen construction in the state beginning on May 1, moved up from May 8. After
state liquor stores were closed in March, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board
is now allowing select stores to offer curbside delivery. Previously Wolf
signed a bill to allow online notary services so online auto sales can resume.
Rhode Island: Gov. Gina Raimondo on April 22 announced plans to roll out a staged reopening of parks
and beaches in the coming weeks, citing encouraging virus statistics. “It is my
hope that we will be able to enjoy our parks and beaches in some form or
fashion in the month of May,” she said. Raimondo vowed to restart the economy
and ease restrictions as soon as possible, but safely so the state does not end
up “back in this mess.”
South Carolina: Gov. Henry McMaster announced a plan April 21
called "Accelerate South Carolina" to "stomp on the gas"
and reopen certain sectors of the economy. Clothing, department, furniture,
jewelry and sporting goods stores, as well as florists and flea markets can
reopen but will be forced to operate at reduced capacity. The closure on
beaches will be lifted, though it will be up to local officials to decide on
the reopening of specific beaches. The order still encourages social distancing
directives to be followed. Barber shops, beauty salons, bingo halls, gyms and
nightclubs must remain closed for now.
South Dakota: Gov. Kristi Noem announced April 20 that
medical leaders will create a plan for when to reopen South Dakota's economy. Noem
asked residents on Monday to continue to practice mitigation efforts such as
social distancing, even though people are getting antsy to get back to normal
as warm weather arrives. The state is still projected to peak in mid-June. Noem
had not issued a stay-at-home order, but had placed some statewide
restrictions.
Tennessee: Restaurants in Tennessee reopened April 27
for dine-in service with reduced capacity, Gov. Bill Lee announced. Lee,
who has said he will not extend a statewide stay-at-home order past April 30,
also announced that retail stores will be permitted to reopen on April 29. Both
types of businesses must initially limit the number of customers to 50% of
their regular capacity. The state will release additional guidance those stores
and restaurants must follow in order to reopen. The all-clear to reopen those
businesses does not apply to Tennessee's largest cities, including Nashville,
Memphis, Knoxville and others, where local authorities are determining their
own reopening plans.
Texas: On April 27, Gov. Greg Abbott announced that
he will let his stay-at-home order expire April 30 and signed Phase One of his
Open Texas plan that will see many business reopen. On May 1, all retail
stores, restaurants, movie theaters and malls can open, but must operate at a
25% capacity level from their listed occupancy. Public areas inside malls like
food-courts and play areas must remain closed. Outdoor sports like golf and
tennis can resume, as long as four people or fewer are participating in the
event and social distancing is followed. Through Phase One of Abbott's plan,
public swimming pools, bars, gyms, cosmetology salons, massage parlors, bowling
alleys, arcades and tattoo and piercing studios will remain closed. Abbott
announced executive orders April 17 mandated all schools, public and private,
to remain closed for the rest of the school year.
Utah: As the state's "Stay Safe, Stay
Home" directive is set to expire May 1, Gov. Gary Herbert allowed elective
surgeries to resume April 22, the first step toward easing restrictions in
Utah. Herbert also outlined plans to gradually open up businesses in the early
May. The "Stay Safe, Stay Home" directive is merely a suggested
guideline and is not mandated.
Vermont: Gov. Phil Scott said on April 24 he will
allow small crews of five workers or less to work outdoors or in unoccupied
structures. Scott is also allowing manufacturing and distribution businesses to
open with a maximum of five employees or fewer staying six feet apart. Outdoor
garden centers and greenhouses will also be allowed to open with some
restrictions. For businesses that are already open using curbside service,
Scott asked them to continue to operate with the minimum number of people. On
April 17, Scott announced plans to reopen some businesses – under restrictions – on April 20. Farmers
markets can reopen in limited capacities, starting May 1.
Virginia: Gov. Ralph Northam on April 24 announced a
phased reopening plan. Northam said the administration is monitoring several
key data points to inform their decisions. During the first phase, social
distancing will continue, teleworking will be encouraged and the state will
still recommend wearing face coverings in public. Northam plans to ease restrictions in all
regions of the state at the same time.
Washington: Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on April 24
announced a plan that allows existing construction projects to resume as long
as strict coronavirus social distancing protocols are in place. Previously,
Inslee had said the state will not be able to lift many of the stay-at-home
restrictions implemented to fight the coronavirus by May 4 — the date through
which the current directive is currently in place — but that he hoped health
modeling in recent days would allow resumption of some activities.
Washington D.C.: Mayor Muriel Bowser announced on April 23 the
formation of a task force, the Reopen D.C. Advisory Group, that will issue
recommendations in May on the timeline to ease restrictions. To accelerate the
process, Bowser said the city would look to hire several hundred contact
tracers. Bowser said the District will be "deliberate and strategic"
in its plans, until a stay-at-home order lifts May 16.
West Virginia: West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice on April 24
rolled out aggressive steps to reopen daycares and restaurants without setting
specific benchmarks on testing, equipment and coronavirus tracking. The strategy
comes days after he announced hospitals will resume elective procedures as
early as next week.
Wisconsin: On April 27, Gov. Tony Everssaid businesses
that can offer "free of contact with customers" like dog groomers,
upholsterers and lawnmower repair shops can open April 29. Outdoor recreational
vehicle rentals like those who deal with boats, golf carts, kayaks and ATVs can
also open April 29, as can automatic or self-service car washes. "This
order means that every business across our state can do things like deliveries,
mailings, curbside pick-up and drop-off, and it's an important step in making
sure that while folks are staying safer at home, they can also continue to
support small businesses across our state," Evers said.
Wyoming: Certain businesses can potentially begin
reopening in the weeks ahead, Gov. Mark Gordon announced on April 23. State
officials meanwhile unveiled a system of stoplight colors for informing the
public about prevalence of the virus and hospital capacity to handle severe cases.
Orders closing schools and businesses ranging from bars and dine-in restaurants
to nail salons have been in place in Wyoming since March 19.
