Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Friday laid out her hopes for which businesses, parks and other places will be able to start reopening next month.

While she didn’t give specific dates, she said various businesses will be able to open throughout the summer with strict social distancing, limited capacity and other precautions.

Here is a rundown:

Early June (before June 10)

• restaurants and coffee shops, for outdoor dining

• hair salons, nail salons and barber shops

• childcare centers

• in-home family childcare

• Chicago Park District facilities (does not include the lakefront; contact sports will still not be allowed)

• libraries

• office-based jobs

• hotels and other lodging

• professional services

• Real estate services

Later in phase three (no specific timeline)

• the lakefront (will open before the end of summer)

• summer programs and youth activities (including park district and private summer camps)

• religious services

• gyms

• outdoor performances (limited capacity)

• museums
