The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention released guidelines on how to reopen the country following the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 60-page document was actually shorter than a previous version that the White House rejected last week, saying it was too specific.  Media reports are emerging of growing animosity between officials in the Trump administration and the CDC.

The CDC guidelines provided detailed plans for reopening schools, restaurants, mass transit and other public spaces, while also saying some institutions should remain closed – only to reopen later based on local COVID-19 transmission rates.

The guidelines give a blueprint to containing the virus, on both federal and state levels, through contract tracing for people that might have been exposed to COVID-19.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to revive the face-to-face G-7 leaders meeting near Washington, D.C. in June, saying in a Wednesday tweet he wants to reschedule the meeting on the same day and holding it at Camp David, a presidential retreat located in the state of Maryland.

The summit was canceled by the President in March but was replaced with a video conference instead due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But in his push for an in-person June summit, Trump touted that the meeting would be “a great sign to all – normalization.”

A statement from the French President Emmanuel Macron said that he would be open to traveling to the U.S. for the summit if the epidemic situation allows it.

According to Johns Hopkins University, there are currently more than 1.5 million confirmed cases in the U.S., with over 93,000 deaths related to the virus.

While a number of states and cities are lifting their “stay-at-home” orders and loosening restrictions, Americans are still concerned about a second wave of coronavirus infections, according to a new Associated Press poll.

Around 83% of Americans are at least somewhat concerned that lifting restrictions will lead to additional infections – more than 54% say they are very or extremely concerned about it.

Finally, Apple and Google released long -awaited smartphone technology that would notify people if they might have been exposed to the virus, the Associated Press reports.

Both tech firms said that 22 countries and several U.S. states are planning to build phone apps from their software.
