WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump says the federal government's coronavirus social distancing guidelines will be "fading out" when they expire on Thursday and states pivot to reopening.
The administration says the guidance issued 45 days ago has been incorporated into recommendations given to states on how they can begin the process of gradually reopening their economies.
The guidelines - which were originally supposed to last 15 days and were then extended another 30 - included encouraging Americans to work from home and avoid restaurants and discretionary travel as well as telling older Americans and those with serious underlying health conditions to isolate themselves.
Meanwhile, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, described the administration's response to the pandemic as "a great success story" and predicted that, by July the country will be "rocking again."
