On April 29, Gov. Doug Ducey is expected to announce what comes next after his stay-at-home order is set to expire on May 1.

So much hangs in the balance, whether he decides to reopen the state or not. But is Arizona even in a place where that should be on the table?

Tim Lant is a mathematical epidemiologist and the director of program development at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute. He’s part of a team that has been advising state officials through this crisis.

The Show spoke with Lant about the state's actions and whether Arizona is ready to reopen.
