The Trump administration will not implement the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 17-page draft recommendation for reopening America.

- The Trump administration will not implement the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 17-page draft recommendation for reopening America, a senior CDC official confirmed to CNN Thursday.

"We are used to dealing with a White House that asks for things and then chaos ensues. A team of people at the CDC spent innumerable hours in response to an ask from Debbie Birx," said the source. An administration official told CNN that CDC leadership had not seen the draft document before it was leaked, and there were two concerns when it reached the task force. It was"overly prescriptive" because"guidance in rural Tennessee shouldn't be the same guidance for urban New York City," and the recommendations in the document did not fit the"phases" that had already been outlined by the task force.

But the White House has been subject to an intensive lobbying effort from certain sectors that were looking to influence the guidelines, the senior CDC official said. And Trump publicly signaled last week that he was unlikely to sign off on guidelines that recommended a return to an altered way of life.

The decision to reject the CDC's guidance is part of the ongoing friction that has gone on between the top US health agency and the White House, the agency official said. The CDC is trying to get its recommendations implemented at the state level via state agencies.
