Operative words

President Trump has unveiled Guidelines for Opening Up America Again, a three-phased approach based on the advice of public health experts. These steps will help state and local officials when reopening their economies, getting people back to work, and continuing to protect American lives.... Proposed State or Regional Gating Criteria: Satisfy Before Proceeding to Phased Comeback... Downward trajectory of documented cases within a 14-day period... Phase One: For States and Regions that satisfy the gating criteria. INDIVIDUALS: ALL VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS should continue to shelter in place.... Social settings of more than 10 people, where appropriate distancing may not be practical, should be avoided unless precautionary measures are observed. Avoid SOCIALIZING in groups of more than 10 people in circumstances that do not readily allow for appropriate physical distancing (e.g., receptions, trade shows) MINIMIZE NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL and adhere to CDC guidelines regarding isolation following travel.
