Mississippi governor on decision to reopen the economy amid coronavirus pandemic

Rhode Island and Nevada are taking steps to reopen this weekend and as states begin to test the waters. While the data are still very new, some states are seeing different trends in Covid-19 case numbers as testing continues, and government officials balance their state's economy and their population's health. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves joins "Squawk Box" to discuss how the state is fairing two weeks into its reopening.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves enacted a stay-at-home order for the state that went into effect April 3 and will remain so until April 30.
Reeves also closed all nonessential businesses, but exempted religious entities as long they adhere to guidelines from the state and Centers for Disease Control and Protection.
All schools in Mississippi are currently closed through the end of the academic year.

Reopening Plan:

Reeves issued a new “safer-at-home” order on April 27 that goes through May 11.
Under the new order, businesses such as gyms, bars, clubs and tattoo parlors will remain closed but retailers can offer delivery and curbside pickup services.
