More than a dozen states have extended stay-home orders past White House deadline

California

Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a six-point plan this week all of whose conditions must be met before any modifications are made to the state’s stay-home order.

Connecticut

Last week, Gov. Ned Lamont signed an extension of Connecticut’s shelter-in-place order until May 20, and the state joined half a dozen others in the Northeast in announcing a coordinated reopening strategy.

The nation’s capital will remain under a shelter-in-place order until May 15 after an extension this week by Mayor Muriel Bowser.
