On Friday, more than a dozen states began to relax their stay-at-home orders and allow businesses to reopen.
Each state has established its own regulations as to which businesses and services are allowed to operate under certain conditions. States like Texas, Iowa, and North Dakota have allowed restaurants, fitness centers, retail businesses to operate under strict social distancing measures.
Most of these states, located in the South or Midwest regions, will gradually be lifting their stay-at-home orders and reopening for business in phases.
