While states across the country continue to temporarily shutter businesses amid the coronavirus pandemic, some industries are just too essential to be shut down.
Businesses that don't generally make the"essential" cut are more recreational, like museums, theaters, gyms, casinos and salons. Restaurants also tend to fall into the nonessential categories but most locations can get past that by offering takeout or delivery services only.
