Donald Trump's administration disregarded guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in May 2020 and refused to allow the public health agency to advise religious groups to consider holding virtual services as a means of limiting the spread of the coronavirus.
Emails released Friday morning by the House panel investigating the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic indicate that the Trump White House considered that advice "problematic" and rewrote the CDC guidance to remove "all the tele-church suggestions," The Washington Post reports.
