Thanks to the work of Vermonters, and even as we’ve slowly restarted the economy over the last 4 weeks, we’re still moving in the right direction. The data shows we can continue to methodically put more back to work, while easing some restrictions.
Over the last month, with strict health and safety protections, we’ve opened retail, outdoor services, recreation, manufacturing and construction, as well as campgrounds and lodging at 25% capacity. Vermonters can also safely visit with small groups of family and friends.
We still have a long way to go, but we know what trends and metrics to watch, and if things continue as they have, we’ll be able to do more and more, while keeping people safe.
As I said on Friday, if things go well this week, we’ll announce some additional openings, like more office workers who can’t work from home, hair salons, limited outdoor seating at restaurants, and hopefully more in the healthcare field.
I know this has been incredibly difficult for everyone, and in some ways, the restart process is even more trying than the closings were. But your sacrifices and cooperation have made a huge difference. And my team is committed to helping our businesses and families recover from this once-in-a-century crisis.
So, on Wednesday we’ll also announce a major package which will provide relief, hope, and initiatives to get us moving towards recovery. Thank you all for what you’ve done over the last 2 months and your ongoing commitment to keeping people safe.

Vermont has the lowest COVID-19 growth rate in the country, thanks to the efforts of Vermonters. As we methodically reopen our economy, it’s important we remain vigilant and continue to follow Vermont Department of Health and CDC guidelines.
