The Governor of California has announced a panel of more than 70 business leaders, executives and CEOs will advise on the reopening of the state’s economy.
Chosen to represent the Walt Disney Company in California is Disney’s Executive Chairman, Bob Iger. Iger gave an interview about joining the task force and had this to say, “Clearly, making people feel safe from getting the virus is the biggest obstacle and it’s clearly complicated. It’s not just about — as far as we know — social distancing. It’s about taking a number of steps, implementing a number of procedures to make sure that people feel safe.”
Iger also added that “it’s likely that we’re going to need some mass testing, at scale, and some form of contact tracing as well so that we can identify people who have been exposed or people who have had the virus and may be of harm to others.”
The goal of Governor Newsom’s task force will be to work together and advise on the steps needed to reopen the economy and provide the perspective of businesses located within the state. As of today, California has no timeline for reopening.
