SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Under Utah’s phased reopening plan, hair salons, gyms, restaurants and bars are allowed to reopen Friday. Shani and Sergei Oveson were excited to restart dine-in seating at their small downtown Salt Lake City restaurant that saw an 85% drop in sales since mid-March. Now the couple has only modest financial expectations as Utah and some states begin allowing certain businesses to reopen as the U.S. emerges from its self-imposed, hunkering down phase of the COVID-19 outbreak. Meanwhile, Mike Turner was ecstatic about meeting his friend for a beer at a bar, saying he missed being able to unwind with friends.
