The Centers for Disease Control and Preventation posted six one-page guidelines Thursday to advise schools, bars and restaurants, businesses, child care centers, and mass transit systems on how to reopen during the pandemic.

Previously, the Associated Press obtained a longer document which would give specific guidelines on how to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, like social distancing employees at least 6 feet and keeping communal kitchens and break rooms shut.

Axios reported that the White House coronavirus task force asked the CDC to revise the larger guidelines, obtained by the CDC. The agency believed that they were “overly perspective.”

Guidedance for churches and other religious services are without guidelines, something that the earlier guideline had, which the White House requested that it be taken out, AP reports.
