WASHINGTON—U.S. schools shuttered by the CCP virus should pursue a carefully phased reopening only after public health benchmarks are met, and summer camps should be limited largely only to children from the immediate area, according to a new set of guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The new 60-page roapmap (pdf) was released late on Tuesday by the CDC to help states restaurants, schools, mass transit systems and other businesses safely reopen amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
