Several states are beginning the first phases of reopening and gyms, fitness studios, bowling alleys, and salons are among some of the businesses allowed to open with limited capacity.
Businesses are eager to reopen; half of the companies polled by the small business referral network Alignable said they could get back to work within a month of restrictions ending.
