State of Emergency Extended to July 15
Governor Phil Scott announced Monday as expected that the state of emergency scheduled to end June 15 is being extended to July 15th. With most sectors and businesses allowed to open to at least 25% capacity and health and safety measures continuing to be followed, this extension of the state of emergency will allow Vermont to continue on the path of safely reopening the economy.
