CDC release reopening guide, Trump considers G-7 held at Camp David

The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention released guidelines on how to reopen the country following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 60-page document was actually shorter than a previous version that the White House rejected last week, saying it was too specific.  Media reports are emerging of growing animosity between officials in the Trump administration and the CDC.

The CDC guidelines provided detailed plans for reopening schools, restaurants, mass transit and other public spaces, while also saying some institutions should remain closed – only to reopen later based on local COVID-19 transmission rates.

The guidelines give a blueprint to containing the virus, on both federal and state levels, through contract tracing for people that might have been exposed to COVID-19.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to revive the face-to-face G-7 leaders meeting near Washington, D.C. in June, saying in a Wednesday tweet he wants to reschedule the meeting on the same day and holding it at Camp David, a presidential retreat located in the state of Maryland.
