After weeks of delay, the CDC has released new guidance on how states can safely reopen.
The guidance includes various"decision tools" for specific institutions.
The language in the guidance issued does not appear to be as prescriptive as a previous 63-page draft CDC documentThat document called on restaurants to"provide physical guides" such as tape on the floors to ensure 6-feet of social distancing among patrons. Instead, it starts with asking,"Is the school ready to protect children and employees at higher risk for severe illness?"officials have implored Americans to stay home, limit social contact and shop only for essentials.
"The point is, that America needs -- and must have -- the candid guidance of our best scientists, unfiltered, unedited, uncensored by President Trump for his political minions," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday on the Senate floor. In that same hearing Tuesday, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield testified that the highly anticipated guidance would go online"soon," to which Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said"isn't very helpful" as his and other states reopen -- many without waiting for a 14-day downward trend in cases Fauci and others have warned is crucial in safely doing so.
