Reopenings: US states are taking their first steps toward a new normal
CNNCNN — Carlos Davis used to have about 200 clients drop by his CUT-ology barbershop in Albany, Georgia, every day. “You can kind of distance between the next two people throughout the salon,” Stafford said Friday, “but it’s going to be difficult because we’re so hands on.” Uneasy first steps The reopenings do not mean that things are returning to normal. “I think it’s going to give them some hope.” In Douglasville, Georgia, Eric Greeson said his family’s barbershop had more business than they thought they would but not as much as they wished. Oklahoma will allow restaurants, movie theaters, sporting venues and gyms to reopen May 1 if they maintain “strict social distancing and sanitation protocols.” Bars, schools and sporting events, however, will still be closed. Jared Polis said the state’s stay-at-home order will be replaced Monday by a less restrictive “safer at home” phase.
