U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday, March 30, at the White House in Washington that the next 30 days are 'vital' in the fight against coronavirus after he extended social distancing guidelines yesterday through April 30.

This comes a day after Trump made a dramatic course reversal and announced that he would not be moving to ease the guidelines and get the economy back up and running by Easter, as he said last week he hoped to do.
In the face of stark projections from his team and searing images of overwhelmed hospitals in his native New York City, Trump instead extended to April 30 the social distancing guidelines, which had been set to expire Monday. Many states and local governments already have stiffer controls in place on mobility and gatherings.
With his job on the line, next November’s national election is never far from Trump's mind, even as he confronts the country’s growing death toll from the coronavirus pandemic.
“I can’t imagine any president doing more than I have,” Trump boasted during a nearly hourlong interview Monday on one of his favorite shows, “Fox & Friends” on the Fox News channel.
