Marketwatch reports that the White House unveiled new guidelines for states and localities on lifting coronavirus-related restrictions on citizens and businesses, as President Trump looks to bring the nation's focus toward reigniting an economy battered by efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.

The protocols, titled "Opening Up America Again," do not suggest a time frame for when states should lift restrictions, as the president had suggested they might earlier this week. "Governors will be empowered to tailor an approach that meets the diverse circumstances of their own state," Trump said during a press conference Thursday evening.

The White House proposed a list of six metrics states should "satisfy before preceding to a phased opening."
