The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released official reopening guidelines last week, according to an article on the Becker’s Hospital Review website.
The 60-page document comes about two weeks after the White House reportedly tabled the guidelines over concerns they were too restrictive. The document offers guidance on a three-phase approach to reopen schools, childcare facilities, restaurants and public transit.
Industry groups shared additional guidance for resuming elective surgeries May 19.
The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses, American Hospital Association and AdvaMed developed the guidance on how to ensure the safe reentry of device representatives into hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
