According to reports from the Washington Examiner, Trump’s plan to ease the repercussions of the pandemic restrictions came into view on Thursday.

Dr. Deborah Birx, a coronavirus task force coordinator, said the plan is to work county to county in order to track the virus and prevent further spreading.

This will allow some businesses to return to normal in some areas.

“This is what we’re talking about: how to do surveillance, how to do contact tracing, and how to do each of these items to make sure that you prevent that spread,” Birx said during a White House press briefing.

She continued to say that the strategy would be “a laser-focused approached rather than a generic horizontal approach” for the nation.

Vice President, Mike Pence, also spoke on the matter, “But we’re going to do that responsibly … we’ll do that based on the data.”

President Trump has spoken openly about the fact that he wants businesses back to normal so that people can get back to their jobs.

“People don’t want to close,” he said Thursday. “I say it again and again.”

“The strategy of aggressive testing, contact tracing, and quarantining exposed people has shown some success in other countries.” Joseph Lawler, a journalist for the Washington Examiner wrote.

Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas said, “We’ll need local personnel trained and prepared to do widespread contact tracing for those who test positive,” “We’ll have to develop procedures for strict quarantines of those who test positive or those who’ve been exposed to the virus-with zero tolerance for breaking quarantine and endangering our fellow citizens.”
