Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said Thursday that while life in the state would not fully return “back to normal” until a vaccine is found for COVID-19, he said he would not wait for that before reopening the economy.
“This is going to be a process that’s going to unfold over a number of weeks and months and so forth,” he said, adding, “we’re not going to get back to normal until we have a vaccine and some effective therapeutic treatments, but we’re not going to wait till then before we start to reopen the economy, get businesses back open, get workers back to work.”
