Public health officials warned that sending people back to work before the spread of COVID-19 is under control would be problematic. They continue to urge Americans to take social distancing seriously to stop the transmission of the respiratory disease, for which there is no known cure.

I'm not going to tell people to go to work when I'm uncertain," said Cuban, owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks.
Sending employees back to work too quickly may be "unforgivable" in the eyes of younger Americans, too, Cuban said. "So not only is it smart to take care of your employees, but it's also good business and that's the way I'm looking at it.
