Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on Tuesday announced a task force that will work on a set of recommendations for “restarting the economy” in anticipation of the time when businesses can start to reopen in the state.

“We know it will take us much longer to start the economy back up than it did to shut it down for the coronavirus pandemic emergency,” Patrick said in a statement.
