Reopening dates and criteria by state
| Hawaii Hawaii | — | Once 70 percent of residents have been fully vaccinated. |
| Puerto Rico P.R. | — | Further reopening plans will be announced before the current executive order expires on July 4. |
All across the country, mask mandates have eased, restrictions have lifted and most states have gone back to business as usual. It appears nearly the entire country will be open with few restrictions by the Fourth of July.
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, it has been largely up to state and local officials to determine what restrictions, if any, to impose to slow new infections. A nationwide patchwork of rules for businesses and residents resulted over months of trial and error, as governors reopened some sectors only to later re-close and reopen them again as infection rates rose and fell.
States have moved closer to lifting all restrictions on businesses and gatherings as the vaccination campaign has progressed. In the few states that have yet to fully reopen, governors have set targets for doing so based on vaccination rates or other health measures.
A full reopening still comes with rules in many places. Some states continue to require the use of masks for unvaccinated people, and some governors are still mandating that businesses observe social distancing rules, even as they lift capacity limits.
Many states eased mask requirements for those who are vaccinated after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised that fully vaccinated people could go without masks in most indoor and outdoor settings.
Where Masks Are Required Indoors

Coronavirus restrictions by state
Starting in April 2020 and ending July 1, 2021, the New York Times tracked coronavirus restrictions at the state level, including what businesses are allowed to open and whether officials require masks. A state is considered fully reopened once it has lifted all specific restrictions on businesses statewide, though masking and social distancing rules and limits on gatherings may remain in effect. Stricter local orders may also be in place, and local conditions may not always reflect state requirements.
