After weeks of shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic, the nation is beginning to slowly open up.

Beaches and state parks are reopening to visitors, spurring concerns about overcrowding. The first barbers have returned to work, masks over their faces. Even some restaurants are getting ready to serve customers again.

In some cases, stay-at-home orders are lifting separately from restrictions on businesses. This page will be updated regularly.
