Trump Says Federal Social Distancing Guidelines for Coronavirus Will Be Fading Out
Coronavirus,Healthcare,Public Health
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP on Wednesday said that federal social distancing guidelines, which are set to expire on Thursday, will be "fading out" as states reopen their economies.
"They'll be fading out because now the governors are doing it," Trump said at a meeting with the governor of Louisiana at the White House.
The social distancing guidelines were put in place in mid-March before they were extended through April 30. The guidance suggests limiting gathering to 10 people, among other things.
"Frankly, every state in America has embraced those guidelines at a minimum or even done more," Vice President Mike Pence said. "Now our focus is working with states as governors, like Gov. John Bel Edwards, unveil plans to open up their states again."
