Public health principles for a phased reopening during COVID-19: Guidance for US governors

‘This document provides an assessment of the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a variety of organisations and settings that have been closed. We outline steps to reduce potential transmission during the reopening of these organisations and settings, building on the proposed phased approach from the National Coronavirus Response: A Road Map to Reopening. Reopening businesses and other sectors represents one of many steps that will need to be taken to revitalise communities recovering from the pandemic, restore economic activity, and mitigate the unintended public health impact of the distancing measures that were necessary to confront the epidemic of COVID-19. A discussion of larger community-wide considerations for holistically enhancing recovery can be found in the Appendix.’
