On Tuesday, Coronavirus Task Force members will likely share details about updated mitigation guidelines and statistical models that show how President Donald Trump came to the decision to extend his 15-day plan.
The Coronavirus Task Force is holding a briefing on Tuesday and officials will are expected to shed light on the social distancing guidelines that will be in place until April 30.
Tuesday marked the expiration date for President Donald Trump's 15-day plan to slow the spread of a new coronavirus outbreak. Ahead of the deadline, Trump announced that mitigation measures would be extended until April 30, but clarified that the official strategy would be shared with the American public on Tuesday.
Trump originally stated that he wanted the country open by Easter, which he later said was"aspirational." Dr. Deborah Birx told reporters on Monday that Task Force members would review statistical models that led the president and mayors across the nation to develop policies for mitigating the spread of the coronavirus.
The president's official schedule didn't have the 5 p.m. EDT briefing listed, so it's unclear if he will attend. The White House referredViewers across the country can tune in for the briefing from their televisions or online. C-Span will be broadcasting the briefing live, beginning at 5 p.m., according to the schedule.
"Our future is in our own hands, and the choices and sacrifices we make will determine the fate of this virus and, really, the fate of our victory," Trump said Monday."Every one of us has a role to play in winning this war. Every citizen, family, and business can make the difference in stopping the virus. This is our shared patriotic duty."
