They will be extended nationwide  for another 30 days, an abrupt back-down from his push to reopen the country as coronavirus continues to spread.

The 15-day guidelines he announced two weeks ago were set to expire on Monday, as he had suggested over the past week that he was looking to relax them, at least in some parts of the country. He even floated Easter, on April 12, as a potential date by which the country could return to normal.

But today he said he'd decided to extend the guidelines -- which include suggested limits on large gatherings -- to April 30, a sign his earlier predictions were overly rosy.

 "The better you do, the faster this whole nightmare will end,"he said Sunday at a White House news conference.

He said he would be finalizing a new plan and strategy early this week and announcing the details on Tuesday.
