<\/p>\n

At least 25 states have released formal reopening plans or criteria as of April 24th, 2020.<\/p>\n

The rest have announced that such guidelines are forthcoming. President Trump\u2019s three-phased approach calls for governors to evaluate specific data around new cases, covid-like symptoms, and hospital capacity in their areas before deciding how to proceed. 
\n 
\nJared Kushner: \u201cThe goal here is to get people back to work.\u201d<\/a>
\n 
\nThe federal government has all hands on deck to help. On Monday, President Trump released a Testing Blueprint<\/a> to assist states in implementing expanded testing and rapid response programs. This week, the President has already met with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards about reopening their states.
\n 
\n\u201cWhat a job they\u2019ve done,\u201d President Donald Trump said of Louisiana\u2019s efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus.
\n 
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve obviously turned the corner in Louisiana\u2014we\u2019re in a much, much better place than we thought was even possible five or six weeks ago,\u201d Gov. Edwards said. \u201cThat\u2019s because of our local partners and our Federal partners and hard work.\u201d
\n 
\nLouisiana Governor: We\u2019re able to start reopening our economy<\/a>
\n 
\nThe Governor thanked President Trump for his Administration\u2019s response. \u201cThe field medical stations you provided, the Navy medical personnel that you sent to Louisiana, the testing that we had early was the key. And that has informed our testing strategy going forward,\u201d he said.
\n 
\nOther states are working hard to get Americans back to work, too. In Montana, Governor Steve Bullock announced a phased reopening plan<\/a> last week that reflects President Trump\u2019s criteria, including a multi-week decline in positive COVID-19 Coronavirus cases.
\n 
\n\u201cThe data is on our side, and President Trump has created a pathway to safely open up our country,\u201d Senior Advisor Jared Kushner told Fox News today.
