Trump Extends Social Distancing, National Shutdown Until April 30
MARCH 29, 2020 By Madeline Osburn
President Donald Trump on Sunday extended the voluntary national shutdown and social distancing guidelines until April 30, as deaths from the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic rise. He suggested the death rate would likely peak in two weeks.
?Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory has been won,? Trump said at an evening press briefing. ?Therefore we will be extending our guidelines to April 30.?
Trump previously said he would like to open the country by Easter, April 12, but as the initial 15-day period of social distancing expires Monday, he now says that goal was ?aspirational.?
?We know much more now than we did two or three weeks ago. Easter should be the peak number, and it should start coming down,? he said at the White House.
