Some places may be able to reopen at the beginning of May while others should remain under virtual lockdown, Surgeon General Jerome Adams said on April 10.
Asked whether reopening on May 1 was realistic, Adams said “some places” might be able to do so.
“There are places around the country that have seen consistently low levels and as we ramp up testing and can feel more confident that these places actually can do surveillance and can do public health follow-up, some places will be able to think about opening on May 1,” Adams said.
“Most of the country will not, to be honest with you, but some will. That’s how we’ll reopen the country: place by place, bit by bit, based on the data.”
The surgeon general, America’s top public health official, was speaking during an appearance on Fox News.
