Trump Issues Guidelines for America’s Reopening
On Thursday, the White House unveiled guidelines for states to begin reopening their economies and lifting stay-at-home orders and other restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The guidelines set forth a phased reopening that empowers state and local governments to make individual decisions as to when to move through each of the three phases of the new plan. Counties may implement the reopening plan at the governors’ discretion. The president said America’s reopening would happen “one careful step at a time.”
Before entering phase one of the plan, states are encouraged to first witness a decline in the number of cases in their area over a 14-day period. In addition, it’s recommended that states have the hospital capacity to handle coronavirus cases without crisis care and have in place adequate testing programs, including antibody testing, to monitor at-risk health care workers.
In the first phase, vulnerable individuals should continue to shelter in place and practice isolation when family members or other individuals return to the workforce or other situations where they may come into contact with the virus.
Here is phase one broken down:
First phase for individuals:
🔺 Vulnerable individuals shelter in place
🔺 Maximize social distancing in public
🔺 Avoid groups of 10+
🔺 Minimize non-essential travelhttps://t.co/gdCIY9wJP8 pic.twitter.com/Fmb56oEIDA— The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 17, 2020
