President Donald Trump said his administration expects the peak of deaths in the U.S. coronavirus outbreak to be reached in about two weeks, and that he would extend current social distancing guidelines for Americans until April 30.
Trump had previously aimed to return many Americans back to work by Easter Sunday, April 12. He said he now anticipates deaths to crest at that time, and for the outbreak to wind down by June 1, setting the stage for recovery.
“We can reach the bottom of that hill by June 1,” Trump said at a news conference in the White House Rose Garden on Sunday. “That would be a great thing.”
