At a coronavirus task force briefing on Sunday, President Trump announced the social distancing guidelines aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus will be extended to April 30th.
"We will be extending our guidelines to April 30th to slow the spread," Trump said Sunday in the Rose Garden.
The extension was announced after the president said the peak death rate in the United States for the coronavirus is expected to hit in two weeks, according to models of the virus.
"Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won," Trump said. "That would be the greatest loss of all. Therefore, the next two weeks and during this period, it's very important that everyone strongly follow the guidelines."
President Trump encouraged Americans to "strongly follow the guidelines" on social distancing, adding, "The better you do, the faster this whole nightmare will end."
Trump had previously stated a goal of opening the country up by Easter, April 12th. When asked about the Easter timeline by a reporter on Sunday, Trump said the goal was "just an aspiration," but one that had to be extended based on the incoming data.
The president said the administration's latest plans a summary of the taskforce's findings will be announced on Tuesday.
“We will be extending our guidelines to April 30 to slow the spread. On Tuesday, we will be finalizing these plans and providing a summary of our findings."

Wars are actually good for the economy. This hoax is bad for it. Big difference.
Ok.
So electing Biden’s VP, trying to remember his short list - Kamala Harris, The Latina Senator, and ? - anyway - you believe that having Biden/? is best for America’s future then?
But The Miraculous Fauci has the solution. Abra Cadabra, presto change oh, kill the patient!! And thus no disease can harm us again!!!
This miraculous solution is brought you by the great and powerful FAUCI!!
Three weeks later isn’t going to be the end of it.
Whenever the fools in charge decide to pull their heads out of their asses and stop acting like scared children, our economy will be gone. Life as we know it is over if our leaders don’t change their ways damn soon.
I’d rather be dead than a serf. Once upon a time certain patriots who we called our founding fathers mouthed those very words.
Since the CDC is known to be flat dead on their collective butt regarding testing, just exactly where is Fauxy getting his model parameters?
He specifically mentioned the HCQ and Z-pack combo
Yes, he’s wrong.
In going to take a nap. Somebody wake me up when it’s July.
Before long people will be organizing online to do a mass exit of their homes. I agree that some people will be willing to tough it out for a bit but everything ends. The Pandemic and patience. Which will end first? Trump will have to think of a way to keep people calm for a month. No small task.
That’s not nice.
There are a lot of conservative Democrats in NYC.....
Joe Addabbo, Jim Gennaro, etc.
Not voting. No difference. Dumb choice you present.
I’ve been saying that for many days now.
I want to go to sleep, get up in two months, see if everything still sucks, and go back to bed for another two months if it does.
....”People didn’t take it seriously at first, it seems”...
True. I was concerned but didn’t go into prepare mode until about 3 weeks ago when clearly it was fast moving virus.
No matter how many times the White House Team said it was going to get worse before it gets better I think there was hope it wouldn’t. Now here we are.
A FREEPERCIDE Hotline needs to be set up immediately. The ledge is starting to buckle under the weight...
Ah, I’m so sorry. Thankfully, our country was built on tougher guys than you.
No sir.
It is the choice we have.
Trump or The VP Biden chooses.
May God guide and strengthen us in this challenging time.
Tatt
The state of mind of the fair weather sailor is bad for both.
In case you missed it...
Correct. Wife and I wonder why all this fuss over this flu, along with many. But just trying to inject hope in these "hopeless" times. Other generations didn't have the safety nets that are in place now. Too many safety nets, too much government interference, too many lies. So I hear you.
