At a press briefing with members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force on Thursday President Trump announced new guidelines on reopening the country. There is no timeline for relaxing social distancing restrictions but instead a set of criteria for local leaders to use in making decisions, including the ability to set up safe and efficient screening and testing sites and having a sufficient supply of personal protective equipment.
The plan also lays out three phases to loosen restrictions on businesses and individuals once states meet certain checks like having a downward trajectory of documented cases or a downward trajectory of positive tests.
