The new guidelines were held back from release this week, after Trump called older ones "tough & expensive" and pushed for reopenings without them.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has delayed the release of documents giving new advice to schools on how they can reopen safely even as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
Separately, a spokesperson also told CNN that they were not"ready" not be published this week, and instead would"likely" be out by the end of the month. He had attacked the prior CDC on Twitter, saying earlier in July that they are"tough & expensive" and that the CDC was"asking schools to do impractical things."
She continued by saying that"The science is on our side here," citing a study that showed children's risk of critical illness from COVID-19 to be lower than the regular flu.
