The 17-page document prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was put off to avoid giving ‘overly prescriptive’ guidance, an administration official said

U.S. President Donald Trump takes questions from the media during a news briefing with members of the COVID-19 task force, at the White House, in Washington, on March 16, 2020.The White House shelved a step-by-step guide prepared by U.S. health officials to help states safely reopen mass transit, restaurants, daycare centres and other public places closed by the coronavirus pandemic, an administration official said on Thursday.

The administration official said the CDC document was only discussed by task force members after news of its existence leaked last month, prompting them to seek revisions to add greater nuance to the guidance. Another reminder of the damage came on Thursday, when the Labor Department reported that 3.2 million Americans claimed unemployment benefits for the first time last week, bringing the total to about 33.5 million since March 21, roughly 22.1 per cent of the working-age population.
