All 50 states have begun to reopen in some way after the coronavirus thrust the country into
lockdown starting in March. But there are substantial variations in how states are deciding to
open up, with some forging far ahead of others.
The changes reflect the immense pressures weighing on the nation’s governors to respond to a
crippled economy and an anxious public, even as epidemiologists warn of the potential for a
second wave of cases.
How States Shut Down
These maps show which states had statewide stay-at-home orders in place on a given date.
The New York Times is tracking when orders to stay at home are lifted in each state, as well as
when broad reopenings are allowed. A state is categorized as “reopening” once its stay-at-home
order lifts, or once reopening is permitted in at least one major sector (restaurants, retail stores,
personal care businesses), or once reopening is permitted in a combination of smaller sectors. A
state is categorized as “regional reopening” if, by and large, the governor permits certain
counties or regions to open while others remain closed. States may shift categories as conditions
change, or to account for changes in the national landscape.
This page will be updated regularly.
Reopening
Businesses are almost universally reopening under restrictions, such as allowing fewer
customers, requiring workers and customers to wear masks, and enforcing social distancing.
Even as governors lift orders, stricter local orders may remain in place.
