Study: Oklahoma has the third fewest Coronavirus restrictions

According to a study, Oklahoma has the third fewest restrictions when it comes to Coronavirus.

All states have at least partially reopened after keeping non-essential businesses closed for months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some states have recently chosen to pause their reopening processes due to spikes in the disease, and some local areas have even closed down again.

In order to determine the states with the fewest coronavirus restrictions despite a surge in cases across the U.S., WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 18 key metrics.

Their data set ranges from whether child-care programs and restaurants have reopened to whether the state has required face masks in public and workplace temperature screenings.
