Trump: US extends social distancing guidelines until April 30

(CNN)The United States will extend its set of social distancing guidelines until April 30, President Trump said in a coronavirus news briefing at the White House on Sunday. “We will be extending our guidelines to April 30 to slow the spread,” the President said. “On Tuesday, we will be finalizing these plans and providing a summary of our findings, supporting data and strategy to the American people.” As of Sunday evening there are more than 137,000 cases of coronavirus in the United States. At least 2,400 people have died. Trump’s administration issued guidelines on social distancing on March 16 aimed at containing the coronavirus outbreak. The guidance, which initially had a 15-day time frame, urged Americans to avoid groups of more than 10 and advised that older people stay home. Trump hopes the country will be on its way to recovery by June 1, he said Sunday. “A lot of great things will be happening,” the President said.
