President Trump on Wednesday said the administration will be “fading out” the federal social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of coronavirus that are slated to expire Thursday. The White House implemented the “30 Days to Slow the Spread” guidelines last month, extending the strategy the White House rolled out in early March that included guidance on social distancing, working from home, washing hands frequently and avoiding unnecessary travel. The president told reporters from the Oval Office Wednesday that the White House will be “fading out” the guidelines. Vice President Pence added that those guidelines are “very much incorporated in the guidance.”The “fading out” of the White House social distancing guidelines comes as the states across the nation begin Phase One to reopen their economies amid the coronavirus crisis. The draft proposal is reportedly under review by White House officials, and the CDC could release a final proposal in the coming days.
