White House returned CDC guidelines for reopening economy, requesting revisions

WASHINGTON — The White House sent back guidelines it received from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month on how businesses, schools and other organizations should reopen with a request for revisions, two administration officials said.

The White House coronavirus task force, which is headed by Vice President Mike Pence, viewed the CDC's advice as overly restrictive and in some cases thought it undercut the White House's three-phase guidelines for opening up the country, released in mid April, the official said.

The White House's guidelines on reopening and easing social distancing are broad and leave much of the decision-making to governors. Those guidelines say states should see a 14-day decrease in coronavirus cases before reopening but do not set a specific timeline for doing so.
