Nooyi — the retired chair and CEO of PepsiCo and top business executive leading the efforts to reopen the state — said the committee to reopen Connecticut has been brainstorming ways to “selectively” reopen the economy when the time comes. “We are never, ever going to not focus on public health,” Nooyi said. She estimated the state will start to reopen in June, but will do it “very carefully and in small steps.” Nooyi is working on this advisory group alongside Dr. Albert Ko — a professor of epidemiology and infectious diseases at the Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. Lamont brought in the duo, who also represent Connecticut in the seven-state region along with Paul Mounds, the governor’s chief of staff, for what will become weekly updates as the necessities of public health mesh with the state’s ability to restart an economy that has resulted in a loss of jobs for a third of Connecticut’s workforce, led by 150,000 bar, restaurant and hotel workers.
