"There are reopening scenarios where it could get out of control very quickly," he said. Judd Deere, a White House Spokesperson said, "This is not a White House document nor has it been presented to the Coronavirus Task Force or gone through interagency vetting."

Meanwhile, more than a dozen US states eased COVID-19 restrictions and another over a dozen have announced their plans to do so in the coming days.
States like Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Illinois, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, Vermont, and West Virginia have lifted restrictions.
