POTUS unveiled new guidelines meant to help states loosen their social distancing restrictions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On Thursday, April 16th,\u00a0President Donald Trump released Opening Up America Again<\/em><\/a>, a\u00a0framework\u00a0to help states ease lockdown restrictions, saying to governors of each state through a telephone call that it is their decision on when and how to reopen, differing from his earlier claim that “the President of the United States calls the shots” in how to ease restrictions that have kept most Americans indoors and forced closures of schools, restaurants, gyms and other businesses.<\/p>\n White House\u00a0coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx explained this three-phase plan where \u201call vulnerable individuals\u201d stay home and employees return to work gradually. To enter each phase, CNN reports, states have to meet “gating” thresholds that may be declining documented cases or a decreasing percentage of positive tests. These guidelines, meant to speed Trump’s goal of restarting the country, won’t be mandatory. Many governors like Cuomo in New York<\/a> have already extended restrictions into May or banded into regional collectives that will determine their own reopening plans. These phases will be divided as follows:<\/p>\n Trump said it is the governors’ responsibility to improve testing in their state, shrugging off responsibility for enacting the type of nationwide testing system he was touting in the past, where he said that he had \u201ctotal authority\u201d over when to reopen. Now he’s deferring to governors, showing that the pandemic requires locally tailored responses. But even among the nine states with the lowest case counts — Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska and Hawaii — not all governors have expressed an eagerness to quickly reopen.<\/p>\n You can visit the POTUS guidelines here.<\/a><\/p>\n According to Morning Brew<\/a>, public health officials, lawmakers, and business leaders\u00a0are concerned\u00a0the U.S. can\u2019t test people at the scale necessary to responsibly send us back to work.<\/p>\n POTUS unveiled new guidelines meant to help states loosen their […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":26064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1069,43],"tags":[99,1385,3177,3410,55,3606,128],"class_list":["post-26063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-management-leadership","tag-ceo","tag-ceo-northam","tag-coronavirus","tag-covid","tag-donald-trump","tag-guidelines","tag-small-businesses"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26063"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26063\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26150,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26063\/revisions\/26150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/servidor-mxigen1.com\/ceona-antiguo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
