U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday said President Donald Trump is mulling reopening the economy in regions of the country unscathed by the coronavirus outbreak.

“I know the president is very much looking at how we can reopen parts of the economy,” Mnuchin said, during an interview on the Fox Business Network.

There are parts of the country like New York where the coronavirus outbreak is concerning. “There are other parts where it is not,” Mnuchin said

Trump “is meeting with the task force and the medical professionals and getting posted on this every day,” the Treasury Secretary added.

Trump has repeatedly chafed at the stay-home guideline that have shut a large chunk of the economy ever since the White House published the guidelines on March 16.

“People have to get back to work,” the president said at a briefing on Saturday.

In a separate interview with Politico, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said he still believes “that in the next four to eight weeks we will be able to reopen the economy and that the power of the virus will be substantially reduced and we will be able to flatten the curve.”

U.S. equity benchmarks have risen sharply this week on optimism that some countries in Europe are talking about reopening. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.05% is up 323 points in morning trading after jumping 1,627 points on Monday.

Austria announced it is going to allow small business to reopen on April 14 and Denmark plans to reopen some schools one day later. Other European countries may follow suit.
