The governor has issued a statement laying out four stages to returning to normal. Beginning May 4 the state reopened churches, some manufacturing, car showrooms and libraries.

May 24 will see gyms and fitness centres opening, playgrounds, some sports centres such as tennis, pools, campgrounds and movie theatres. From June 14, stores and malls, restaurants, bars and night clubs at 50 per cent capacity, some entertainment facilities, including bowling, sports leagues and amusement parks, water parks and other similar locations at 50 per cent capacity.

And in phase four, beyond June 4, full capacity for stores and malls, restaurants and bars and amusement parks. It is not anticipated that casinos will reopen until after the start of this phase.
