This is where all 50 states stand on reopening
This is where each state is during its phased reopening
As of May 20, each state that had imposed a stay-at-home order or shelter in place had begun lifting the restrictions of businesses and public spaces.
People were allowed, in some places, to go back to restaurants and offices and places of worship. Some people have ventured out; some people continue to stay home as much as possible.
State officials and health experts say they want to see expanded testing, tracking contacts of people who had the virus, improved treatment options and vaccine development when they consider moving on to the next step of the reopening process.
Here's the latest on where states stand in their reopenings:
Alabama
The state’s stay-at-home order expired April 30 and Gov. Kay Ivey has issued several amendments. The state is allowing non-work gatherings of any size, as long as people maintain six feet of distancing. Retailers and beaches have reopened with restrictions.
Gyms, athletic facilities, barber shops, hair salons and nail salons have reopened with certain rules.
Restaurants, bars and breweries may allow on-property consumption of food and drink, with certain rules.
Starting May 22, new rules were put in place, through at least July 3:
— Entertainment venues, child care and summer camps are allowed to open, subject to social-distancing and sanitation rules.
Educational institutions will be allowed to reopen on June 1 if they observe social distancing, sanitize the facilities and require employees to wear face coverings.
Alaska
Gov. Mike Dunleavy said May 19 that all businesses and houses of worship will be allowed to open on Friday, May 22 at 8 a.m.
“It will all be open, just like it was prior to the virus,” Dunleavy said at a news conference.
Businesses can return to 100% of their normal capacity, although local communities will have the option of keeping stricter rules.
Also libraries, museums, recreational activities and sports activities may open.
Dunleavy said the reopening makes a spread of coronavirus more likely, but no longer a statewide health emergency.
“We should have this well under control in terms of managing it. If there are spikes, if there are clusters, we’ll deal with that,” the governor said.
The governor said they will monitor their Covid-19 numbers after the business reopening and will be prepared to tighten restrictions again, but he doesn’t believe that will be necessary. “I don’t foresee us going back to something that’s statewide,” Dunleavy said.
Arizona
Arizona allowed retail stores to do in-person business again from May 8 with strict physical distancing.
Gov. Doug Ducey said new coronavirus cases are declining “Arizona is heading in the right direction.” Barbershops and salons were included in the May 8 reopening order, although all businesses are required to maintain social distancing.
From May 11 Arizona restaurants were able to offer dine-in services again. The governor said the state is working with the industry to come up with specific distancing rules for restaurants later in the week.
Ducey on April 29 extended the state’s stay-at-home order until May 15 with modifications. Under the new order, elective surgeries could begin May 1.
Navajo Nation extended the closure of its government until May 17.
Arkansas
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said on April 30 that gyms, fitness centers, and indoor athletic facilities could resume operations beginning May 4; barbershops and hair salons from May 6.
The state allowed restaurants to open for limited dine-in service May 11. Restaurants will be able to operate at a third of their normal capacity and they must limit groups to no larger than 10 people.
Hutchinson said that if the state continues to see a downward trend of coronavirus cases, it will move into a second phase by allowing restaurants to increase to 67% of capacity.
Hutchinson on May 4 said the state encourages places of worship to use online platforms for services, but can also have in-person events. The guidelines include: signs advising anyone who has been sick they shouldn’t enter, six feet of social distancing inside except for family groups, and face coverings for everyone older than 10.
The governor announced on May 21 that high school and community teams will be allowed to resume skill training under strict measures on June 1.

Newsom said May 20 that more than half of the state’s 58 counties are moving further into ‘phase two’ of the state’s four-pronged approach to reopening.
The governor said 33 counties have begun to move forward. These counties have reached criteria which includes no more than 5% increase in hospitalizations over a week-long period and fewer than 25 coronavirus cases per 100,000 residents.
On May 25, the state said it would allow places of worship and retail stores to let people in.

We were successful in these efforts, but the fight is far from over."
Hawaii
Gov. David Ige on May 5 announced a plan to ease the stay-at-home restrictions in place, calling it a “safer-at-home” plan.
On May 7, in the first phase of the plan, a number of businesses were allowed to open, including shopping malls, car washes, pet grooming, elective surgery, nonprofit organizations, and in-person retail businesses as long as social distancing is maintained.

Illinois
Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a modified stay-at-home order that went into effect on May 1 and extends through the end of the month. The order allows more flexibility "where it is safe" to do so, according to Pritzker.
This new order allows residents to leave their home for essential activities, including for health and safety, for necessary supplies and services, for outdoor activity, for certain types of work, to take care of others, and to engage in the free exercise of religion.
"All we were trying to do was to make more explicit that people do have the right to gather in a group of 10 or less," he said. "As long as you are social distancing."
State parks, golf courses, retail stores, and garden centers are some of the few places that are reopening with strict social measures.
Non-urgent surgeries that have been put off due to the crisis can also now be scheduled in surgery centers and hospitals, according to the governor.
Pritzker also announced guidance on the use of masks in public. He said, "Tomorrow will be the first day where adults and any children over the age of two and everyone medically able to tolerate a face covering will be required to wear one in public places where they can't maintain a 6-foot social distance."
On May 5, the governor also announced a five-phase reopening plan. Pritzker said that Phase 3 -- when manufacturing, offices, retail, barbershops and salons can reopen, with restrictions -- won’t begin until May 29 at the earliest.
On May 14, Pritzker said that every region in the state is on track to move into the next phase of re-opening in about two weeks.
Indiana
Gov. Eric Holcomb's stay-at-home order expired May 1 and the state is currently in Stage 1 of the its reopening plan. Critical businesses have opened but all other industries are closed.
Stage 2, which rolled out for most of the state on May 4, eases restrictions on essential travel, permits social gatherings of up to 25 people and reopens state government offices with limited public interaction.

Indiana is part of a Midwest coalition of states looking at reopening possibilities.
Iowa
Gov. Kim Reynolds has not declared a stay-at-home order. Reynolds allowed 77 of Iowa's 99 counties to reopen restaurants, fitness centers, retail stores and enclosed malls at 50% capacity beginning May 1. Reynolds also lifted the ban on religious gatherings of more than 10 people.
This is "a targeted approach to loosening restrictions" and focuses on counties "where there is no virus activity or where virus activity has been consistently low and shown a downward trend," said Reynolds.
Counties where Covid-19 activity is higher will have their closures extended through May 15, the governor said. "It's based on a stabilization and it's based on virus activity and the amount of new cases over the past 14 days," Reynolds said.
"Businesses and churches approved for reopening must also adhere to social distancing, hygiene, public health measures, and business guidelines from the department of public health to, of course, reduce the risk of transmission of Covid-19," the governor said.
Reynolds also said that restaurants will have to keep tables at least six feet apart and limit the number of people that can be at a table.
The governor emphasized that the state limit on social gatherings of more than 10 people remains in place.
Kansas
The state’s stay-at-home order ended May 4. Gov. Laura Kelly said resaturants can open if they adhere to proper public health guidelines and can maintain at least 6 feet between customers.
Libraries and child care facilities also may open.
Bars, nightclubs, casinos, gyms, and personal service businesses where close contact cannot be avoided must remain closed.
On May 6, Kelly signed a proclamation that allowed dental services to resume statewide in compliance with special guidelines adopted by the Iowa Dental Board.
Also, campgrounds, drive-in movie theaters, tanning facilities and medical spas may partially reopen following guidelines and taking public health measures.
Fitness centers, malls and other retail establishments in the 22 counties that did not ease restrictions May 1 may also reopen at 50% capacity.
Kentucky

Louisiana
Gov. John Bel Edwards said May 11 the stay-at-home order, set to expire May 15, will not be extended.
Under the new order, malls in Louisiana will remain closed to the public, but stores can offer curbside delivery. Restaurants can still do takeout and delivery orders but can also offer outdoor seating. There will not be any wait staff, but customers will be able to sit outside and eat if they want, minding social distancing rules. Edwards also said that all employees in businesses interacting with the public are required to wear masks.
Churches can operate outdoors with tents as long as those tents don't have flaps on the side, the governor said.
Businesses that were previously directed to close will remain closed, including salons, barbershops, bars and casinos.
Edwards said his decision to extend the order was based on data, science and the guidance from the White House.
Edwards said the state has not met the threshold where they need to be in hospitalizations, new cases and testing.
Maine
Gov. Janet Mills announced that while the state has started to flatten the curve, it is still not out of the woods. She extended the state's stay-at-home order through May 31, allowing some businesses to reopen on May 1.

Gov. Phil Murphy issued a stay-at-home order on March 21 that has no specific end date. State parks, golf courses and county parks reopened May 2.
On April 27, Murphy announced a “Road Back” plan, which did not name dates for when other restrictions would be lifted, but instead laid out six principles or metrics that would guide when the easing will happen. They included 14-days of declining new Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations, and expanding the state’s capacity to test for the disease.
Reopening will likely begin in workplaces and venues where the state has a "high degree of confidence" that social distancing and other related norms can be effectively executed, Murphy said then.
On May 6, Murphy said he was extending a public health emergency declaration for 30 days. This does not alter the state’s stay-at-home order or “Road Back” plan, but rather allows Murphy to use state resources as necessary to combat the spread of coronavirus, he said. “If it signals one thing, it is this: We can’t give up one bit on the one thing we know that is working in this fight -- social distancing,” Murphy said.
On May 19 the governor said residents can now shop for vehicles in person beginning the next day.
New Mexico

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said May 14 that there are five regions in the state – Central New York, North Country, Finger Lakes, Southern Tier, and Mohawk Valley -- that meet the metrics required to reopen May 15.
Cuomo on May 11 reiterated that the reopening of businesses would be phased, starting with construction, manufacturing, retail (curbside pickup), agriculture, forestry and fishing.
Phase two would use more of a business-by-business analysis using a matrix that determines each businesses overall importance and risk in reopening.
Cuomo has said the state would leave two weeks between phases so it can monitor the effects of what it has done. Two weeks is the incubation period of the virus, per experts.
North Carolina
Gov. Roy Cooper said May 20 the state would shift from a stay-at-home order to a “safer at home” order on May 22 as part of phase 2 of reopening.
In phase 1, which began May 8: Retail stores were limited to 50% capacity. Child care facilities opened for children of working parents or those looking for work.

From May 4, manufacturing, distribution and construction companies can reopen. General offices also may open, but businesses should have people work from home when possible, DeWine said.
From May 12, consumer, retail and other services will be allowed to reopen, the governor said.
The state has outlined protocols for reopening businesses, including requiring face coverings for all staff and customers, conducting daily health assessments, and maintaining good hygiene, cleaning and sanitizing.

Among them are personal care businesses, restaurants, dining rooms, movie theaters, sporting venues and gyms if they maintain "strict social distancing and sanitation protocols."
Bars, however, will still be closed.
The plan involves three phases, and Stitt cautioned "we will not move to the next phase until the data tells us that it's safe to do so."
Oregon
Gov. Kate Brown had extended the state’s stay-at-home order through July 6. On May 18, a judge said the governor’s emergency coronavirus restrictions violate state law and are “null and void.”
The state immediately filed an appeal with the Oregon Supreme Court.
Several restrictions have been lifted.
On May 1, non-urgent medical procedures began. On May 8, the state began accepting applications from counties that wanted to reopen.
If counties are approved, they will be permitted to open restaurants and bars for sit down
service with social distancing, barbers and salons on an appointment only basis, retail businesses with social distancing in place and group sizes will be allowed to increase to 25.
Counties will be monitored for 21 days after entering phase one and if they show no significant growth in the number of cases, they will be considered for entry into phase two.
On May 14 the governor said 26 counties have been approved and were allowed to reopen with protective measures in place on May 15. Phase one will also permit the opening of shopping malls in areas approved by the governor’s office.
Pennsylvania
Gov. Tom Wolf wants to reopen the state in three phases beginning May 8.
The phases will be broken down into three colors -- red, yellow and green -- and will follow the data, according to Wolf. He had issued stay-at-home orders across the state until April 30.
For those in the red category, the order was extended on May 7 until June 4.
For 24 counties in the yellow zone, a limited reopening of all businesses was allowed from May 8, “so long as they strictly adhere to the requirements of this guidance,” according to Wolf’s office. The guidance for businesses can be found here.
****On April 27, Wolf announced that golf courses, marinas, guided fishing trips and privately owned campgrounds could reopen statewide May 1, provided they follow social distancing guidelines.
“Pennsylvanians have remained resilient throughout this Covid-19 crisis, and as we successfully continue to flatten the curve to protect our physical health, it is critical that we also focus on our physical and mental health during these extraordinary times. As the weather warms and daylight lengthens, enjoying time outdoors is an important way to manage stress," Wolf said.
Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr Rachel Levine said May 6 that the state is allowing elective procedures to start in hospitals and health systems as well as ambulatory surgical facilities in most counties, but not the hardest hit.
Pennsylvania had joined a coalition with the Northeastern states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island and Massachusetts to coordinate the reopening of the economy, according to a press release from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
Rhode Island
Gov. Gina Raimondo said May 7 that the statewide stay-at-home order would expire May 8, and the state would begin Phase 1 of its reopening.
As of May 9, these places or services may restart if they comply with rules like cleaning frequently, reducing capacity, and screening employees: retail stores; elective medical procedures and other healthcare needs like immunizations and specialty care; state parks; and places of worship with five people or fewer. Employees of office-based businesses who need to go to the office may do so on a very limited basis, but work from home is encouraged.
Strict restrictions remain in place for some businesses. Restaurants still are limited to delivery and takeout. Outdoor dining might be permitted eventually in Phase 1.
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities remain closed to visitors.
Entertainment venues like movie theaters, bowling alleys, museums, gyms, salons, and barber shops remain closed.
On May 19, Raimondo announced a smartphone app for residents called “Crushing Covid.” The app will update Rhode Islanders on the reopening.
Places of worship can open to parishioners at 25% of total capacity beginning May 30, Raimondo said May 20.
South Carolina
Gov. Henry McMaster on May 11 said that close contact service providers, fitness and exercise centers, commercial gyms, and public or commercial pools will be able to open in a limited capacity on Monday, May 18. Restaurant dining rooms were opened, with restrictions, beginning May 11.
Some retail stores have been open since April 20, including those selling furniture, books, music, flowers, clothing and accessories, as well as department stores, sporting goods stores and flea markets.
Beaches were allowed to reopen to public access on April 21, though local governments are allowed to keep them closed.
McMaster's state of emergency executive order has been extended to May 12.
Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said May 19 that in-person graduation ceremonies with gatherings of large groups of people could begin as early as May 29.
South Dakota
Gov. Kristi L. Noem did not issue a stay-at-home order.
"We have seen such an outstanding call to action among the people of South Dakota that we actually have more people staying home than many of the other states that have put in shelter-in-place orders and have put together directives to tell people they can't leave their homes," she said at a town hall hosted by South Dakota Public Broadcasting on April 15.
Noem announced on April 13 that South Dakota would be the first state to conduct a hydroxychloroquine trial to test against Covid-19.
Tennessee
Gov. Bill Lee issued a new executive order to replace his previous stay-at-home order. The new order will expire on May 30.
"The order allows Tennesseans and businesses to return to work in all industries where that can be safely accomplished by following health guidelines, while urging employers to allow or require remote work/telework if possible," according to the press release.
Restaurants, retail outlets, and gyms have been allowed to reopen in most counties in the state.
Close contact services like salons and barbershops were allowed to reopen on May 6 in 89 of the state's 95 counties, Lee announced on April 29.
On May 21, the governor signed an executive order raising the number of people allowed to participate in a social and recreational activities from 10 to 50.
Texas
The state’s stay-at-home order expired May 1.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced May 18 that child care centers and office buildings will be allowed to reopen now, and many more businesses from bowling alleys to rodeos and professional sports in coming days.
At the end of the week, on May 22, restaurants, which were allowed to reopen May 1 at 25% capacity, can increase to 50% capacity. Also bars, wine tasting rooms and craft breweries can open at a 25% capacity, the governor said. Those capacity limits do not apply to outdoor areas that maintain safe distances, according to Abbott.
Also on May 22 various businesses such as bowling alleys, bingo halls and skating rinks as well as rodeos, zoos and aquariums may all open at 25% capacity.
On May 31, the governor said, some professional sports can apply to the Department of State Health Services for approval to hold events without spectators, including golf, outdoor racing, baseball, softball, tennis, football and basketball.
Also on May 31 youth sports camps and programs such as Little League will be able to open. Parents will be allowed to spectate, as long as social distancing is followed, according to Abbott. Also summer camps and other daytime and overnight camps can open.
On June 1, school districts are allowed to open for summer school classes as long as distancing practices are followed, Abbott said.
Utah
Gov. Gary Herbert issued an executive order that places Utah under "moderate risk" protocols for Covid-19 beginning May 1 and will remain in effect until May 16.
Utah has not issued a stay-at-home mandate.
"We aren't returning to business as usual yet," Herbert said. "In fact, we will not return to 'normal' for a significant period of time. But Utahns' diligence over the past month has given us time to build our healthcare capacity and PPE stores. We can now cautiously relax some requirements, and allow businesses that were closed to operate with safety measures in place."
The state allowed restaurants to let customers dine in again "with extreme precaution" starting May 1.
Although in-person dining will be allowed as long as social distancing is maintained and the health of employees is monitored, the state still says takeout and delivery are preferable. Similarly, the state allowed gyms to reopen, but says it is recommended that they remain closed.
Personal services businesses like hair salons can reopen with social distancing, according to the state's moderate risk guidelines.
Vermont
Though a "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order is in effect until May 15, certain restrictions have been relaxed.
Starting May 6, gatherings of 10 or less people are allowed. Gov. Phil Scott recommended, but did not require, that these gatherings happen outdoors. Adults ages 65 and older are asked to continue to stay home due to the risk of severe illness, the governor said.
Outdoor recreational locations such as skate parks, tennis courts, ball fields, trail networks, and golf courses were allowed to May 6.
Starting May 4, Vermont allowed manufacturing, construction and distribution businesses to operate, with certain safety requirements.
Also on May 4, some elective surgeries and procedures could start again. Ones that require a hospital stay are not.
Scott said he hopes to allow child care services to restart on June 1.
Virginia
Gov. Ralph Northam issued a stay-at-home order effective until June 10. A separate executive order that restricted certain businesses and crowds of more than 10 people will expire May 14. The order has closed recreation, entertainment, and personal care businesses, and limits restaurants to offering takeout and delivery services only.
Elective surgery and dental procedures in Virginia were allowed to resume May 1.
Washington
Gov. Jay Inslee extended Washington's stay-at-home order until May 31.
Most state parks and recreational areas reopened May 5. The state also is allowing people to play golf again, but it will be limited to only two people playing together at a time, except when the players live in the same home. No overnight camping will be allowed on any public land.
On May 4, Inslee said individual counties can ask for an exception to state coronavirus regulations on businesses.
Throughout the state, non-essential businesses will still be prohibited from having customers in their stores, but some non-contact businesses like lawn care and car washes can resume from May 5.
On May 18 the state said it would allow non-essential medical procedures and services. Inslee emphasized that doctor’s and dentist’s offices that want to reopen must comply with health restrictions.
Of the state’s 39 counties, 22 are eligible to move to the second phase of reopening. On May 19 Inslee issued new criteria, which focus on counties having less than 10 new cases per 100,000 residents over a 14-day span, the governor said.
Religious and faith-based organizations in Phase 1 counties may host up to 100 people for outdoor services. In Phase 2, they can host to up to 25% of their capacity or 50 individuals, whichever is less, as well as conduct in-home services of five people.
Phase 2 also allows for in-store retail purchases with restrictions, reopening of barbershops and salons, and the reopening of restaurants at 50% capacity and table sizes no larger than five.
West Virginia
The stay-at-home order for West Virginia was lifted at 12:01 a.m. May 4 and replaced with another order, Gov. Jim Justice said.
The new order still encourages people to stay at home but doesn't require it, Justice said.
Pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists, psychologists, physical therapists, and social workers have been allowed to return to work.
Indoor dining at restaurants can resume May 21 as can shopping at large or specialty retail stores.
Justice on May 14 added fitness centers, gyms and recreation centers to the list of places allowed to open, starting May 18. Rock climbing business could reopen May 15, and whitewater rafting and ziplining businesses on May 21. All must follow restrictions and guidelines.
On May 18 Justice said indoor shopping malls will be allowed to reopen May 21. He added that bars could open at 50% capacity May 26. Museums, visitor centers and zoos can also open that day.
Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the state's stay-at-home order, ruling it unlawful and unenforceable in a high-profile win for the state's Republican-led Legislature.
In a 4-3 decision May 13, the court ruled that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' administration overstepped its authority when the state Department of Health Services extended the order to May 26.
On May 18, the governor said he won't pursue implementing a new statewide Covid-19 plan after the first proposal was rejected.
Wyoming
Bars and restaurants were allowed to reopen on Friday, May 15 under an order signed by Gov. Mark Gordon.
“We are trying to work our way safely to as normal conditions as we can get,” Gov. Gordon said May 13.
Tables will be limited to six people, but unlike most states with similar regulations, people from different households will be allowed to sit at the same table. Buffet service is not allowed, and tables must be separated by at least 6 feet. All restaurant employees must be screened for Covid-19 symptoms before beginning work.
Movie theaters and salon are being allowed to open with social distancing, and public gatherings of up to 25 people will be allowed.
The state will allow gatherings of up to 250 people, beginning July 1, the governor said May 27. But at the same time, the state announced that upward of a dozen rodeos and related events across the state will not take place this year.
Among the events being canceled is Cheyenne Frontier Days, which organizers say is the world’s largest indoor rodeo.
The health orders are set to expire on May 31. Some counties have been given permission to loosen regulations even more.
