Public health officials are beginning to see the number of new coronavirus cases level off in some hard-hit areas around the country. That’s leading economists to look toward a plan for reopening the economy.

Economic analyst Dr. Hank Fishkind tells 90.7’s Nicole Darden Creston what an eventual re-opening may look like for Central Florida.

Nicole came to Central Florida to attend Rollins College and started working for Orlando’s ABC News Radio affiliate shortly after graduation. She joined Central Florida Public Media in 2010. As a field reporter, news anchor and radio show host in the City Beautiful, she has covered everything from local arts to national elections, from extraordinary hurricanes to historic space flights, from the people and procedures of Florida’s justice system to the changing face of the state’s economy.
