Every State’s Rules for Reopening and Social Distancing

The United States has surpassed more than 2 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, and the death from the coronavirus disease toll has climbed to more than 115,000 as of June 11.

Nationwide, cases have been declining, and states have begun to loosen some or all restrictions. Health experts are concerned that states may be opening too soon. There are already reports of a second wave in certain areas as the number of new COVID-19 cases has recently spiked in some states.  

To determine each state’s social distancing measures and rules for reopening, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed executive orders from state governors over the last few weeks. 

Even though the number of new COVID-19 cases has plunged in New York — home to  the nation’s most densely-populated major city — and in New Jersey — the most densely-populated state — those two states have been slower to reopen their economies. 

Other states began pulling back on their restriction orders as early as late April, and seven states never enacted statewide stay-at-home orders at all. COVID-19 daily infection rates have been increasing in some of those states. These are the states where the virus is growing fastest right now.

Travelers can only use road or maritime highways, and travel to remote areas is restricted to essential travel. Alaska is in phase 3 of reopening. All businesses, religious gatherings, libraries, museums, recreational activities, and sport activities can open.

The Arizona Department of Education on June 1 released reopening guidance for schools for the 2020-2021 school year.

Arkansas was one of a handful of states to never issue a statewide stay-at-home order, but nonessential businesses were closed for a period. Establishments like gyms and barbershops began reopening in early May.

High school and community sports teams were allowed to resume practice events starting June 1, under strict measures. Gov. Asa Hutchinson postponed in-person graduation ceremonies until at least July 1.

Short-term rentals such as hotels, motels, and vacation rentals are limited to “authorized guests,” which include national guard members, first responders, homeless people, and journalists.

A stay-at-home order, which has no set end date, is still in effect, though some restrictions have already been lifted. The state is reopening at the county level, with counties that meet specific criteria allowed to lift certain restrictions. An increase in COVID-19 cases in early June may delay reopening in certain counties.

California is currently in phase 2 of its four-phase reopening, which started on May 8. This phase allows lower-risk businesses to reopen. In the later stage of phase 2, retail, museums, and dine-in eateries will be allowed to reopen with social distancing protocols.
