China News Agency, Washington, April 15 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) When the cumulative number of new coronary pneumonia diagnoses exceeded 600,000, the United States will officially restart its economic plan on the 14th.
"The plan to reopen the economy is nearing completion, and we will soon announce the details of the new guidance plan." US President Trump said at the White House epidemic conference that day that he will soon communicate with the 50 governors of the United States and "authorize "Each state resumes its economic activities in an appropriate manner at an appropriate time.

He said that the day to restart the economy is very, very close. "It may even be before May 1." "In fact, there are more than 20 states in good condition. We think we can open soon, and then other states will follow up." "
According to data from Johns Hopkins University at 11:00 on the 14th, more than 609,000 people in the United States have been infected with new coronary pneumonia, and 26,033 people have died. Among them, 203,000 were diagnosed in New York, 68,000 in New Jersey, 28,000 in Massachusetts, 27,000 in Michigan, and 25,000 in California.
In an interview with the Associated Press on the 14th, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fossi, said that the United States does not yet have the key detection capabilities and infection tracking process necessary to restart economic activities. "There must be some effective and reliable means. But we haven't yet. "
The White House announced a list of "U.S. Economic Renaissance Industry Groups" that included more than 200 U.S. companies and industry leaders, covering various industries including agriculture, finance, retail, hotels, sports, transportation, medical, real estate, and technology. . The White House statement said that these highly respected corporate executives, economists and industry leaders will work with the White House to plan the US economic blueprint.
On the 14th, Trump weakened the position a day ago on "when to restart the economy is up to the federal government". He said, "I will not put any pressure on any governor. I will not tell Governor Como that you must restart the economy within 7 days. I hope he will take it slowly, get things done, and then restart New York."
After a day of decline, the number of new-day coronary pneumonia deaths in New York State returned to more than 700. Nevertheless, New York Governor Como believes that New York State has smoothed out the growth curve of the epidemic, and the epidemic has stabilized. He also stressed that we must continue to adhere to prevention and control measures such as social distance, otherwise the infection rate will rise again.
On the same day, California and Oregon announced the prerequisites for the local economy to restart. California Governor Newson said that the state's adjustment of the "home order" will be based on six factors, including the ability to extensively detect and track the source of infection, the ability of shopping malls and schools to implement "social distance" to prevent epidemics.
Newson did not announce a specific date for "restarting" California, but said it would reassess in the next two weeks. He said that restarting the economy “must be guided by scientific and public health advice, not by politics.” “I do n’t want to make a political decision that puts people ’s lives at risk and puts the economy at greater risk.
Statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control on the 14th show that as of April 9, 9282 medical personnel in the United States have been infected with the new coronavirus, and 27 of them have died. "Washington Post" pointed out that because some people have been working without adequate protective equipment, American medical and health personnel have become one of the most vulnerable groups.
