States with businesses open, closed, mixed amid COVID-19 spike

While the U.S. surpasses 11.8 million COVID-19 cases, most states have not closed nonessential businesses, opting for indoor gathering limits and mandatory mask wearing, according to The New York Times. A majority of states have mask mandates in place, regardless of business opening status. 

Retail stores, restaurants, bars, personal care businesses, houses of worship, entertainment businesses, outdoor and recreation businesses, and other industries were considered in NYT's designations. The publication details each sector in full for all 50 states and compiles data from state governments, executive orders and local news reports.
