Many restaurants across the United States have been closed for at least two months, so the need to reopen in phases is critical in ensuring states don't experience a spike in new infections. As restrictions have slowly begun to lift in various states and large metropolitan areas, restaurants have been required by the CDC's new restaurant guidelines to only operate at 25 to 50 percent of their normal capacity indoors and outdoors and to have tables that are at least six feet apart from one another.

The only states where all restaurants have yet to reopen entirely include Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
