ORLANDO, Fla. – President Donald Trump has provided new guidelines on mass gatherings that should be canceled or postponed in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus across the U.S.
Initially, government officials were urging events involving 250 people or more to be rescheduled. Then, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that events involving 50 people or more shouldn’t take place for the next eight weeks, meaning until about May 11.
On Monday, Trump said that everyone -- regardless of their age or health -- should avoid gatherings of 10 people or more. He said that if every American adheres to this standard, it’s possible that by July or August the trajectory of the outbreak could be quelled. [READ: Family of
