Pennsylvania will allow golf courses, marinas and privately owned campgrounds to open May 1 after being shut down due to Gov. Tom Wolf‘s orders to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The reopening will be statewide but also include specific physical-distancing guidelines, including “no gatherings of any kind and appropriate social distancing of six feet between individuals is strictly abided” by the golf courses, according to the regulations updated Monday afternoon. Only one person can use a golf cart, and there are no employees that are allowed to facilitate play. Only takeout or delivery is allowed for restaurants and banquets and gatherings aren’t allowed.

Marinas also are required to adhere to physical distancing, and chartered watercraft or rental activity isn’t allowed.

“As the weather warms and daylight lengthens, enjoying time outdoors is an important way to manage stress,” Wolf said in a statement. “As we start to take measured, limited steps to reopen our commonwealth, reopening these industries will help to rebuild our economy and strengthen our mental health.”

State campgrounds will remain closed until May 14, according to the governor.
