States plan reopening-based coordination with geographic neighbors

Published April 29, 2020 1:36pm ET



States are releasing their own tailored plans to reopen economies amid the COVID-19 pandemic, days after Georgia announced it would begin to loosen restrictions on businesses that include beauty salons, gyms, bowling alleys, and tattoo parlors.

Restaurants in the metro Atlanta region have since Monday been able to accept customers to eat inside, as long as the businesses follow a slate of 39 provisions set up by the state government. All staff must wear masks, only 10 customers are allowed per 500 square feet of floor space, and no more than six diners per table are allowed.
