US to extend social distancing guidelines to April 30

U.S. President Donald Trump will extend federal social distancing guidelines until at least April 30 after latest progressions from White House advisors showed that as many as 200,000 people could die from COVID-19, even with stringent isolation measures in place.
Trump delivered the announcement on Sunday night, March 29, as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country soared past 140,000. The U.S. president originally planned to lift social distancing restrictions by Easter, on April 12, in an attempt to restart the American economy. Now, the expectation is that things will start to get back to normal by June 1.
“By June 1, we will be well on our way to recovery,” Trump said on Sunday. “We think by June 1, a lot of great things will be happening.”
Social distancing guidelines such as avoiding non-essential travel, eating out, going to work and gatherings of over 10 people will possibly be further extended until June, in an attempt to flatten the rapid curve of spread in the country.
The U.S. became the first country to exceed 100,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19. So far, there have been over 700,000 cases of COVID-19 with just over 35,000 deaths worldwide.
