Trump administration officials are actively weighing steps that would more explicitly push Americans to distance themselves from one another in a bid to prevent further coronavirus contagion.
Speaking at the White House on Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence said additional"broad-based recommendations" for the American public would be released on Monday morning. He and other officials declined to specify what might be included in the guidelines, but he was responding to a question about potential nationwide closures of places like restaurants and bars.
The District of Columbia also enacted new limits on how many people are allowed into restaurants and said businesses must ensure that tables with patrons are separated by at least 6 feet. In New York, officials say there is no plan in place for a citywide shutdown, but the state's governor told CNN that some new restrictions are possible."I could see businesses being closed over a period of time," Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
