Reopening America could be done in 2 to 3-week phases, with certain aspects of society resuming sooner than others
To be sure, decisions about whether to reopen parts of society hinge on key criteria, similar to those proposedThat is, the state has to see a declining number of new cases for at least two weeks, there has to be enough rapid diagnostic testing for people who have symptoms of COVID-19, the healthcare system in a particular state is able to safely handle COVID-19 patients — that includes having enough protective gear on hand — and contact tracing can be conducted.
The researchers laid out the risks of particular businesses and activities based on how close people come in contact with one another, how many contacts people have over time, and how long that contact lasts. The researchers then evaluated the activity or business potential for modification that could mitigate exposure, like setting up physical distancing measures, requiring people to wear a mask, and finding ways to limit physical contact.
Libraries, which the researchers considered to have a low-level risk of contact, also carry a potential for modifications that could allow them to reopen.
