Reopening guidance reportedly shelved by the White House was still in “draft form” when it was leaked to the media, a top health official said Saturday.

The reopening guidance shared prematurely was in draft form and had not been vetted through the interagency review process. “This is an iterative effort to ensure effective, clear guidance is presented to the American people,” Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said in a statement.
