Mississippi governor reconsiders reopening state after its largest spike of COVID-19 deaths & cases

The governor of Mississippi took a step back with continuing to slowly reopen the state after health officials said there was the largest increase of coronavirus diagnosis and deaths.

Gov. Tate Reeves was to proceed with his plan to get people back to work, but announced the change of plans on Friday as 397 new coronavirus cases were confirmed and 20 more people died.

"Things can change quickly. We have to stay flexible. Today, I was prepared to announce further reopenings. That was the plan and I was excited to get more of our people back to work," Reeves said. "This was a large enough change to make me take a step back… and I have come to the conclusion that I must hold on for now.”

Reeves launched his "safer-at-home" order on Monday that allows retail businesses to reopen for two weeks with mandated health guidelines like social distancing, reducing capacity by 50% and providing hand sanitzer for customers.
