The U.S. cities of New York and Washington D.C. have begun Phase II of their reopenings. 

The cities' plans differ in what’s allowed to reopen, but both intersect on certain types of businesses. 

For instance, both cities are now reopening restaurants, some retailers, hair and nail salons. 

But as they reopen, 29 U.S. states and territories saw their seven-day averages of new cases rise. 

The three biggest states in terms of population size are seeing their death tolls spike as they continue to reopen.
