(CNN) White House tours are set to resume after a six-month hiatus starting Saturday, September 12, first lady Melania Trump's office announced Tuesday. The White House tour's resumption comes as the Trump administration has sought to reopen the country. The US Capitol building remains closed to tours at this time. The White House tours abruptly stopped on March 12 as the coronavirus pandemic began to spread across the United States. People calling the White House tour line were greeted by a message saying that "out of an abundance of caution" public tours had been "temporarily suspended."
