Coronavirus restrictions by state
The New York Times is tracking coronavirus restrictions at the state level,
including what businesses are open or closed — and whether officials require
masks or recommend or order staying at home. Stricter local orders may also be
in place, and local conditions may not always reflect state requirements.Many
states offer exceptions to broader rules, for example allowing bars to operate
if they also serve food. Nearly all states limit capacity or require social
distancing measures for businesses that are allowed to open.This page will be

Coronavirus restrictions by state
The New York Times is tracking coronavirus restrictions at the state level,
including what businesses are open or closed — and whether officials require
masks or recommend or order staying at home. Stricter local orders may also be
in place, and local conditions may not always reflect state requirements.Many
states offer exceptions to broader rules, for example allowing bars to operate
if they also serve food. Nearly all states limit capacity or require social
distancing measures for businesses that are allowed to open.This page will be
updated regularly. Select a state for more detail Alabama Alaska Arizona
