- The Governor suspended all local COVID-19 restrictions on May 3, 2021 and ended all local government abilities to impose mask requirements and other social distancing measures used this past year.
- On November 25, the September order was extended. This order prevents local authorities from inhibiting an individual from “working or operating a business”. It also continued to prevent restaurants from operating at less than 50% capacity, and forces local authorities to justify any limits below 100% occupancy. This order remains in effect.
- A mask mandate has still not been ordered. Facial coverings in public spaces are left up to local authorities to determine, but they are not permitted to enforce.
- As of September 25, the Governor declared that the state would be moving into its third phase, opening all bars and restaurants to 100% capacity. Although this mandates the minimum capacity for all restaurants must be 50%, local authorities must justify any capacity between this and full capacity.
