Public gatherings remain limited to 10 people for now. On May 18, that will be number will increase to 30 people. Social distancing still must be observed, and masks are strongly encouraged under the first reopening phase.

The Downtown Hays Market is scheduled to open May 30 at the Downtown Pavilion, 10th and Main.

Farmers markets supply food and services that are considered essential functions and are exempt from the governor's executive order.
