I disagree with @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 8, 2020
During Wednesday's press briefing, Vice President Mike Pence told reporters that the CDC would revise its guidance next week in response to Trump's critique.
\"It's not a revision of the guidelines; it's just to provide additional information to help the schools be able to use the guidance we put forward,\" Redfield said on \"GMA.\"

The CDC's current guidance for reopening schools calls for 6 feet of space between desks, staggered scheduling and the use of face masks.
When pressed on which of those guidelines were too tough or impractical and would be relaxed next week, Redfield said the CDC would continue working with communities to decide which preventative strategies work best for them.
\"These decisions about schools are local decisions,\" he added. \"We're prepared to work with any school and school district to see how they can take these guidances, this portfolio of strategies, and do it in a way that they're comfortable that they can reopen their schools safely.\"
The Ohio State University athletics department announced Wednesday night that it has paused all voluntary workouts on campus following the results of its most recent coronavirus testing of student-athletes.
The move affects the workouts of seven teams at the school, which include men's and women's basketball, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer and women's volleyball.
The university previously revealed Wednesday that a total of 125 student-athletes have been tested for COVID-19 as part of proactive screening prior to the start of voluntary summer workouts on campus. At least eight of those test results were positive, according to Columbus ABC affiliate WSYX.

It's unknown how many others have tested positive since then.
\"The university is not sharing cumulative COVID-19 information publicly as it could lead to the identification of specific individuals and compromise their medical privacy,\" The Ohio State University Department of Athletics said in a statement Wednesday. \"The health and safety of our student-athletes is always our top priority.\"
A student-athlete who tests positive for COVID-19 will self-isolate for at least 14 days and receive daily check-ups from the athletics department's medical staff. Student-athletes who live alone will isolate in their residence, while those with roommates will isolate in a designated room on campus, according to the Ohio State University Department of Athletics.
A toddler in Florida has tested positive for COVID-19 after her mother died from the disease, according to a report by Miami ABC affiliate WPLG.
Shaquana Miller Garrett, 35, contracted the novel coronavirus while working at the front desk of a hospital in Fort Lauderdale. She was a diabetic, considered a higher risk of becoming severely ill with the virus, and had to be hospitalized within days of her diagnosis, her family told WPLG.
Garrett died on July 2, leaving behind a husband and two young children. So far this month, more than a dozen people under the age of 60 have died from COVID-19 in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, according to WPLG.
\"She was my best friend,\" her brother, Curtis Miller, told WPLG.
Now, her 3-year-old daughter Kennedy is battling the virus. The little girl has developed a fever, according to Miller.
More than 58,000 new cases of COVID-19 were identified in the United States on Wednesday, bringing the national total soaring past 3 million, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University.
The latest daily caseload is just under the country's record set on Tuesday, when more than 60,000 new cases were identified in a 24-hour reporting period.

A total of 3,055,081 people in the United States have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, and at least 132,309 of them have died, according to Johns Hopkins. The cases include people from all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and other U.S. territories as well as repatriated citizens.
By May 20, all U.S. states had begun lifting stay-at-home orders and other restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The day-to-day increase in cases then hovered around 20,000 for a couple of weeks before shooting back up and crossing 60,000 for the first time Tuesday.
Many states have seen a rise in infections in recent weeks, with some -- including Arizona, California and Florida -- reporting daily records.
