President Donald Trump on Monday released a series of coronavirus guidelines to slow the spread that calls for a lockdown of America, including the closing of restaurants and schools.

'Each and every one of us has a critical role to play in stopping the spread,' the president said in the White House briefing room.

He predicted the virus could be a threat until the summer.

'People are talking about July, August, something like that,' Trump said. 'They could be right in that period of time where it washes through.'

'The president was saying that the trajectory of the outbreak may go until then, make sure you don't think that it's solid in stone until July' for the guidelines.
