Bullock: Phased reopening will be worked through next week on potentially for after April 24

Gov. Steve Bullock is saying in a press conference that Montana will be working next week to set up a phased re-opening if the number of new COVID-19 cases continues to drop.

He said that because Montana reacted quickly it has been able to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus 2019 that causes COVID-19 it is in a better position than many states to lift restrictions.

He implemented multiple restrictions to slow the spread of COVID-19 and has set them to expire April 19, next Friday.

He said if the spread of the virus continues to drop, the phased reopening could begin after April 24.
