GOP governor: Reopening the U.S. will be ‘just as tough, if not tougher’ than start of coronavirus outbreak

April 13, 2020 / By Rebecca Shabad

WASHINGTON — With no end in sight in the coronavirus outbreak and as President Donald Trump eyes a decision to reopen the economy, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Monday that the U.S. won’t be able to “turn a switch” and return to normalcy.

“Whenever we open up, however we do it, if people aren’t confident, if they don’t think they’re safe, they’re not going to go to restaurants, they’re not going to go to bars, they’re not going to really get back into society,” DeWine said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

DeWine, a Republican who issued a stay-at-home order in Ohio on March 22, said that it could be very difficult to begin opening things up.

“I will say this, that going out of this thing is going to be just as tough, if not tougher, than going into it and closing things down,” he said.
