3 people in all of the industries that- are important getting back open of the tourism industry matter fact restaurants and getting their ideas and thoughts on how to best get back up and operating as the president laid out a three phased out- we want to make sure we were here to those days one requirements and often get back open as soon as possible so we'll be getting input from all the industry of what works for them.

What can we do to make sure the public feels couple get up back out eating.

In a restaurant shop in the to the store for instance- to open up with a third seeding probably doesn't work can they make it if we allow 50% of what the fire marshal allows in a restaurant is that makes sense for the russians but the stores if bob up fifty people in your store there's twenty five people at the top do we want the employees to take up get their temperature checked each wanted how do we feel about the employees wear a mask.

In the stores- those kind of things- because we're gonna have to do something to sell the public that it is safe to go out and enter into the store so it's a two fold and making sure it's working well for the businesses and we do it as quick as possible arbor meet wednesday yeah.

Get back up and operating quickly under phase one and then hopefully quickly moving to phase two.

Up and then phase three is wide open if we don't see the number as long as we see the numbers stable for a fourteen day period we.

Can move from face to face.

Of course the main wall said- the fifteenth of may- she extended they they stay home- but i'm i'm cautiously optimistic that we can put this together.

And i don't want to get people's hopes up but i'm every day we stay shot.

Up there's another business that fails that won't rio.

And that.

Industry the restaurants shop is such a part of tourism if we lose them.

We lose that rich culture and all those special things that makes louisiana tractive to people so we've got to do everything physically possible to make sure everyone they.

Can survive this downturn we're putting together first staycations so soon as we're back we're asking.

Are we- haven't seen and then the national numbers and tell those people feel more comfortable driving.

All right out the gate so there will be marketing all over the south to draw people to louisiana.

Because it's going to be very important not only get back open to make sure we do our part to fill those shoes restaurants.

And attractions to make sure
