As the coronavirus pandemic surged across the United States, millions of Americans were put under strict state orders to remain in their homes, close their businesses, and wear protective face masks whenever in public. But several weeks later—and after the deaths of more than 80,000 people—dozens of states have begun to lift or loosen those restrictions, even as cases continue to climb.

Some states have faced political pressure to reopen, with protesters spurring a contentious national debate over public health versus economic well-being. The Trump administration has provided governors with guidelines on reopening, criteria some states have failed to meet as they begin to loosen restrictions. Here’s how each state is emerging from lockdown.
