WASHINGTON (AP) — Mayor Muriel Bowser says the nation’s capital will begin a gradual reopening Friday, even as she warns it probably will result in more coronavirus infections.
Restaurants will be permitted to seat guests outdoors.
Barbers and hair salons will open. But nail parlors and public playgrounds will remain closed.
Nonessential businesses will be allowed to offer curbside or front-door pickup services. Golf courses and tennis courts will reopen and gatherings of up to 10 people will be permitted. Bowser says the public health emergency she declared in March will remain in place.
