The United States will reopen some of its national parks under the condition that staff and visitors adhere to social distancing guidelines, said President Donald Trump on Wednesday.

“I am pleased to announce that in line with my administration’s guidelines for opening up America again we will begin to reopen our national parks and public lands for the American people to enjoy,” Trump said during a tree-planting ceremony at the White House that noted Earth Day.
