(CNN) The White House coronavirus task force has informed states that it will no longer proactively send its weekly state reports with tailored data and recommendations, according to multiple state officials. Instead, states will need to request the reports each week. The White House has declined to share the reports with press, but CNN has obtained hundreds of reports since then, and some weeks' reports have also been published by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. Over the past several months, the language in the reports and each states' respective recommendations have become increasingly dire. The White House did not immediately respond to CNN's request for information on why the procedure for states has changed.
