President Donald Trump announced yesterday that the federal government is extending its guidance on social distancing through April in a continued effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washington Post reports. Other government representatives advised that the death rate from the virus is expected to peak in two weeks. The decision to extend the guidance reportedly came after health officials predicted that more than two million deaths would occur if the nation did not continue strict measures to respond to the virus.
