WASHINGTON: The United States may be ready to start gradually reopening next month, the government's top infectious diseases expert said on Sunday (Apr 12), as signs grew that the coronavirus pandemic was peaking.
President Donald Trump had earlier wanted the world's largest economy to be "raring to go" by Easter Sunday, but most of the country remained at a standstill and churches took celebrations online to halt the spread of the virus that has killed more than 20,000 people in the US.
