Trump has repeatedly made such accusations in the past week. At the final presidential debate on Thursday night, he singled out New York, North Carolina, California, Pennsylvania and Michigan -- even claiming that Michigan is so restrictive, it has been "like a prison."

And in a Wisconsin interview last Saturday, Trump claimed that the state is "shut down" and "locked down."

Facts First: Trump is exaggerating. Though all of these states still have some significant pandemic-related restrictions, they are all allowing people to leave their homes and allowing most businesses to operate.

There is no official definition of shutdown or closure, so there is some subjectivity to our verdict here. And as the coronavirus situation worsens around the country, it is certainly possible that these states will re-impose stricter measures to try to slow the spread.

But it's clear that Trump's vague words inflated the severity and breadth of Democratic governors' restrictions at the time he spoke.

Let's go through the list state by state.

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania, which Trump said at a Tuesday rally has been "shut down long enough," is not shut down.

Since July 3, all 67 counties in the state have been in the third stage, "green," of Gov. Tom Wolf's three-stage pandemic plan. The green phase includes significant restrictions on many businesses -- such as 50% occupancy limits for bars, restaurants, barbershops, gyms and malls -- but these businesses are up and running, not shut down.

And school districts are permitted to decide for themselves whether to have in-school or remote instruction.

Michigan is not shut down. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer lifted her stay-at-home order on June 1.

The Detroit Free Press published a handy rundown on what happened next: "Bars and restaurants across the state reopened shortly after the order was lifted, followed by barbershops, spas and hair and nail salons in mid-June. Casinos in Detroit were allowed to reopen in early August. Schools across the state reopened this fall for in-person learning. And Whitmer allowed gyms to reopen in early September and movie theaters and bowling alleys to reopen in early October."

There are still capacity limits on various kinds of establishments. For example, restaurants and bars are capped at 50% of the usual capacity for indoor seating.

Earlier this month, Michigan's Supreme Court struck down, as unconstitutional, an emergency law from 1945 that Whitmer had relied on to impose pandemic orders. But her administration then imposed similar orders under the state's public health code.

North Carolina

North Carolina, one of the states Trump claimed at the debate is "shut down so tight," is not shut down. Gov. Roy Cooper moved the state to "phase 3" on October 2, easing his previous restrictions.

There are, as in other states, restrictions still in place. Mass gatherings are limited to 25 people indoors and 50 people outdoors; restaurants are limited to 50% capacity; bars are limited to 30% outdoor capacity or 100 people, whichever is less; gyms are limited to 30
