Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, shown at a recent news conference, is joining the leaders of six other Midwestern states to collaborate on reopening their economies and scaling back stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and six other governors across the Midwest announced Thursday that they will coordinate their work to reopen the states' economies amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We recognize that our economies are all reliant on each other, and we must work together to safely reopen them so hardworking people can get back to work and businesses can get back on their feet," the governors said in a joint statement.
