Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds holds a news conference regarding COVID-19 at the State Emergency Operations Center in Johnston, Iowa, Monday, April 6, 2020.

On Friday, Gov. Kim Reynolds will continue to reopen parts of the economy that were closed to slow the spread of COVID-19.

On May 1, restaurants in 77 Iowa counties were allowed to partially reopen. Now, restaurants in all 99 counties can open their doors to a limited number of customers. So can salons, tattoo parlors and barber shops across the state that have been closed since late March.
