The White House this week batted down a recommendation from health officials that elderly people and those who are “physically fragile” not fly on commercial airplanes, according to an unnamed official with direct knowledge of the situation.
The Associated Press reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) submitted a plan this week with the recommendation as a way to control the spread of the virus. However, administration officials reportedly ordered that that particular provision of the plan be removed.
The Trump administration has since then suggested that those who are most susceptible to the virus not travel, but, according the news source have “stopped short of stronger guidance” laid out by the CDC.
The official in question spoke to the AP under anonymity, as they were not authorized to speak about the matter otherwise.
The federal official’s revelation comes as the disease continues to spread across the country, with cases now confirmed in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
