The novel coronavirus has now infected over 142,000 people in the U.S. — more than any other country in the world, per Johns Hopkins data.
The big picture: COVID-19 had killed over 2,400 people in the U.S. by Sunday night. That's far fewer than in Italy, where over 10,000 people have died — accounting for a third of the global death toll. The number of people who've recovered from the virus in the U.S. exceeded 2,600 Sunday evening.
What they're saying: President Trump said Sunday his administration would extend its "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines until April 30.
Schools: At least 57,000 K-12 schools across the U.S. have closed or will close for up to weeks at a time due to the coronavirus.
Emergency declarations: Trump approved disaster declarations for Massachusetts, Michigan, Kentucky and Guam on Saturday.
What to watch: Americans will get one-time direct deposits from the $2.2 trillion stimulus package of up to $1,200, and married couples will receive $2,400, plus an additional $500 per child.

U.S. coronavirus updates: Infections number tops 140,000

The novel coronavirus has now infected over 142,000 people in the U.S. — more than any other country in the world, per Johns Hopkins data.
The big picture: COVID-19 had killed over 2,400 people in the U.S. by Sunday night. That's far fewer than in Italy, where over 10,000 people have died — accounting for a third of the global death toll. The number of people who've recovered from the virus in the U.S. exceeded 2,600 Sunday evening.
What they're saying: President Trump said Sunday his administration would extend its "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines until April 30.
- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci told CNN models suggest COVID-19 could infect millions of Americans and kill 100,000–200,000, though he stressed the projections are "a moving target."
- Trump said the death toll could've hit 2.2 million without social distancing and stimulus measures, and it'd signal "we all together have done a very good job" if the number is limited to that amount.
- America needs to build and assemble medical equipment in the next few weeks to ward off some of the worst-case scenarios.
- A plane from Shanghai arrived at JFK Airport in New York Sunday morning carrying 12 million gloves, 130,000 N95 masks, 1.7 million surgical masks, 50,000 gowns, 130,000 hand sanitizer units, and 36,000 thermometers.
- New Yorkhas become the epicenter in the U.S., and has now reported more than 44,500 infections with hospitalizations increasing by more than 1,000 per day. About half of the deaths in the U.S. have been in New York.
- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has extended work-from-home orders in the state until Apr. 15 and says they will reevaluate every two weeks.
- The CDC announced Saturday night a domestic travel advisory for New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, urging residents to "refrain from non-essential domestic travel for 14 days effective immediately."
- A second wave of American cities, including Boston, Detroit, New Orleans and Philadelphia, reported influxes of cases on Saturday.
- Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act to require General Motors to build ventilators. He appointed White House trade adviser Peter Navarro to enforce the deal.
- GM and other manufacturers are ramping up ventilator production, with significant volumes unlikely until the end of April or later, Axios' Joann Mullerreports — too late, perhaps, to make a difference in emerging hot spots.
- Louisiana's governor, warned Sunday the state could reach ventilator capacity this week.
- The first federal prisoner to die from coronavirus was reported on Sunday from a correctional facility in Louisiana.
- Hospital ship the USNS Comfort is to due to arrive in Manhattan Monday and begin treating patients in New York City on Tuesday, Trump said. "The people with the virus will not be on ship, the ship will be used for people having operations and other things," Trump said.
- The USNS Mercy hospital ship landed in the Port of Los Angeles Friday. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the ship would "potentially" start taking patients on Saturday.
- Parks and outdoor spaces are getting overcrowded, despite states' advice for people to stay home.
Emergency declarations: Trump approved disaster declarations for Massachusetts, Michigan, Kentucky and Guam on Saturday.
What to watch: Americans will get one-time direct deposits from the $2.2 trillion stimulus package of up to $1,200, and married couples will receive $2,400, plus an additional $500 per child.
