McMaster letter to lawmakers doesn’t mean business closures will last into June, spokesman says

Rep. Jonathon Hill posted a copy of a letter from McMaster that Hill says went out to the legislature Thursday afternoon. “Returning before May 14 for session, even briefly, could place the health and safety of [the legislature] at an elevated risk…,” the letter states. “However, I believe - and hope that by late June that risk will have diminished to the extent that businesses and activities in your state may be safely resumed.”
