The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will revise its guidelines on reopening schools, hours after President Donald Trump called them “impractical,” Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday.

“The president said today we just don’t want the guidance to be too tough,” Pence said at a press conference at the U.S. Department of Education. “That’s the reason why, next week, CDC is going to be issuing a new set of tools, five different documents that will be giving even more clarity on the guidance going forward.”
