The 60-page plan comes weeks after many states ended or partially ended lockdowns and offers suggestions for reopening schools, businesses, restaurants and mass transit systems.
In Step 1 of the plan for schools, for example, schools that are currently closed will remain closed. In Step 2, they will be open with"enhanced social distancing measures" and attendance will be restricted to those who live in the local area only; in Step 3, they are open with distancing measures and attendance restricted to areas with limited transmission of the coronavirus.
Tener Goodwin Veenema, a professor and visiting scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, welcomed the federal guidance, but said she felt in some cases, the verbiage the CDC used was too weak — citing examples in the document where it called the measures"considerations." That is especially important, she added, given the mixed messages that the federal government has made about reopening as politicians and public health officials tangle over stay-at-home orders aimed at stopping the spread of the disease that have sent the economy into a freefall.
