“The next front in our war – opening up America again. A national shutdown is not a sustainable long-term solution.” Trump
Amidst the widespread of the deadly coronavirus, the president of United States of America decides to reopen america. In his daily briefing on Thursday, Trump has given governors guidance on reopening state economies in the coming months.
Noticeably, the US currently has 654,301 confirmed cases and 32,186 deaths, and they suggest to reopen this month.
“My administration is issuing new federal guidelines that will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopen their individual states. However, some states will be able to open up sooner than others.” Trump
The administration’s 18-page guidance document details three phases to reopen state economies, with each phase lasting, at minimum, 14 days. However, they include some recommendations across all three phases including good personal hygiene and employers. Moreso, developing policies to ensure social distancing, testing, and contact tracing.
However, guidelines include some recommendations across all three phases including good personal hygiene. More so, employers developing policies to ensure social distancing, testing, and contact tracing.
Phase 1
Includes much of the current lockdown measures such as avoiding non-essential travel and not gathering in groups. But it says large venues such as restaurants, places of worship and sports venues “can operate under strict physical distancing protocols”.
Phase 2
If there is no evidence of a resurgence of the coronavirus, phase two allows non-essential travel to resume. The guidance says schools can reopen and bars can operate “with diminished standing-room occupancy”.
Phase 3
Under phase three, states which are still seeing a downward trend of symptoms and cases can allow “public interactions” with physical distancing and the unrestricted staffing of worksites. More so, visits to care homes and hospitals can resume and bars can increase their standing room capacity.

Furthermore, Trump said he would leave it to governors to determine when to open their states as every state is different from others. But he also said, “We must have a working economy, and we want to get it back very, very quickly.”
