Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Wednesday the White House is expecting to reopen most of the United States by the end of August.

The U.S. economy has been pushed into a deep recession, coupled with millions of job losses, after nationwide business closures and stay-at-home mandates in dozens of states. Now, state and federal officials are eyeing when businesses can reopen, and some have even announced dates.
