Governor Parson To Decide When To Restart Missouri’s Economy

O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says he’s close to deciding whether to reopen the state economy, which has been largely frozen due to the efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The Republican governor was among the last to impose a statewide stay-at-home order.

It went into effect April 6 and runs through April 24, and has often stressed his desire to get business reopened and people back to work.

He said during his news conference Wednesday that the state is preparing “to be able to move the economy forward.”

He said he will say more on Thursday.

 

Here’s the Wednesday press conference on the coronavirus response in Missouri.
