Rodneya -- what are people saying about the possibility of the state reopening?

People told us they are looking forward to things opening back up after president trump released guidelines on how states can reopen their economies -- now they're waiting to hear more from governor kay ivey on exactly what that will look like here.

Phase one of the federal plan still includes many restrictions, including prohibiting bars and schools from reopening to minimize non- essential travel.

Phase two opens up most businesses, schools and churches, as long as social distancing rules are followed.

However, school districts we spoke with like huntsville city and madison county said they will continue their blended learning programs unless they hear differently from montgomery.

Phase 3 lets larger venues reopen with limited social distancing and proper sanitation.

Today, governor kay ivey plans to review recommendations from a small business commission, the state's congressional delegation, and her coronavirus task force to help determine what reopening the state's economy will look like.
