The CDC has released a detailed set of guidelines for reopening, as well as an extensive blueprint for containing the disease at federal and state levels
Both state and federal officials have struggled to collect consistent data on the virus’s spread, further complicating efforts to coordinate a nationwide response. And while testing overall has surged over the past week, several states well into their reopening have yet to hit their own testing targets.The Trump administration has encouraged a swift reopening of the U.S.
The CDC guidance — which is still shorter than earlier leaked versions — was reportedly delayed for weeks over worries that it was “too prescriptive,” and failed to align with the White House’s broader, more hands-off approach. The White House initially ordered the CDC to revise an earlier draft of the reopening guidelines over worries it was “too prescriptive,” sparking concerns within the public health community about whether the Trump administration was sidelining the federal government’s health experts.a 38-page guidance document that appeared watered down from previously leaked versions and largely contained a set of checklists.
That version was subsequently updated, a CDC spokesperson told POLITICO, and the current, fuller guidance was published on Sunday. The agency did not issue a press release on it. Still, the document does not include reopening recommendations for faith-based communities like churches that were included in initial leaked drafts. Trump administration officials had objected to including faith-based guidances over religious discrimination concerns.
