WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Wednesday, he would like to reopen the U.S. economy with a “big bang” but that the death toll from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, needs to be on the downslope before that can happen.

At a White House news briefing, Trump said the Centers for Disease Control would release guidance later on Wednesday to ensure critical infrastructure workers can do their jobs after being exposed to the virus.
