The U.S. now has nearly 250,000 confirmed cases amid community spread in at least 46 states. New York remains the hardest hit state in the country. Cases in the U.S. are doubling every three to four days and there are approximately 1,000 deaths per day. Models predict this number will peak at 2,600 deaths per day on 16 April before starting to slowly decline. Multiple states have recently issued stay-at-home orders, including; **Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Nevada, and Maine.** There are now just **twelve states without** any statewide orders for residents to stay-at-home unless necessary. It is likely that governors of these states will all issue similar stay-at-home orders in the coming week as the outbreak continues to worsen.  The vast majority of the U.S. population is under a stay-at-home order and more than 4 billion people around the world are living under some form of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the U.S., an economic demand shock has led to 6.6 million new unemployment claims, double the previous week. A total of 10,000,000 people have filed for unemployment in the last three weeks.  The mayors of New York City and Los Angeles issued recommendations that residents wear masks when out in public doing grocery shopping or making any other essential trip. Similar guidance may be issued by the CDC for nationwide adoption in the coming days.  ![3 apr total cases us graph](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3%20apr%20%20total%20cases%20us%20graph.png?width=600&name=3%20apr%20%20total%20cases%20us%20graph.png) ![3 apr daily cases us graph](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3%20apr%20daily%20cases%20us%20graph.png?width=600&name=3%20apr%20daily%20cases%20us%20graph.png) ![GG_CoronaVirus US LIST apr 3](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GG_CoronaVirus%20US%20LIST%20apr%203.jpg?width=1140&name=GG_CoronaVirus%20US%20LIST%20apr%203.jpg) **Latest Global Updates:** - **Portugal **will close all of its airports between 9-13 April. The only flights permitted to operate during that timer will be for repatriating citizens and transporting goods. - **Vietnam **has halted all inbound and domestic flights until 15 April. All travelers are barred from entering. Exceptions to this include individuals traveling for diplomatic, official, or some business purposes; Vietnamese nationals; and residents of Vietnam.

Working from home, closing of schools, and social distancing in public are all part of an effort to ["flatten the curve"](https://hi.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/c/*N5Rk3drKd3Y9W5tcR617jRlrw0/*W2r6wyb4VR4CTW2w2HH988_ctw0/5/f18dQhb0S65P2dYTs8V11Qj92vhWY_W47BsK94RT-zDW7bNWGZ3T0X21W9490Rb8-lJDfW5mw-m42rjBhNW2y6NjB189Rw6W6gKWKh28f1xCW8bJZhT6DvcDfVBbLZn6HyBbzW7QPhSZ6bFF4cW3bJTl-6njK_MW3l6HlC3QWjT1W8wPG1t2Yr0lqW1TVYX24rYxmhW438D485SKR9_VWgPzg3CzCybVJ1r4D1t6CXjW2t_G-H8Yp21qW3WtGCW49bQs_W5V2GGB1vhX-DW7F-KfF7jMrxMW7GT7_v8KRCGgW55h7Bm1KTCzTW32BfY94WM12_N4WwRRr5nlQ0W5D73792czpmQW4V35Fb8bzKWWW1CvDdx4N7FFVW2nDShg7y3jhBW7mC0yQ8NjHqvW6z_NFH7SQMRSW9c_tX07kgD9kW36XKY64r7D5FW3H7qNJ2T485MN7RzmxTWxQb_W35jl-K3QfzDpW7sgM9Q7RJv16W3ClTk72TcMy0W88XdSX71n6JQVxRsmv7Sg7H1W2rYwDT4l90v-V6YtmL2g4xqrW7s2nf94Zk21QW4hMnV797dvTYW5VZX3042LqrVW1cWbhV36snM1W2vhrwt52hQZb0) of cases to prevent the sudden overwhelming of the country's healthcare system. As COVID-19 spreads, more and more countries will institute domestic and international travel restrictions. These policies are changing constantly as the pandemic evolves.

In addition, Global Guardian recommends the following: - **Return **to the U.S. if currently abroad while commercial means are still available. Otherwise, prepare to remain abroad for an indefinite period.  - **Avoid** all international travel. - Practice advanced careful hygiene measures, including frequent hand washing and sanitizing. - Practice "social distancing" while in public spaces.  ##### OUTLOOK The outlook is cautiously optimistic as several European countries start to see a flattening of the curve in new cases 14-20 days after instituting aggressive lockdown measures. Italy is starting to see positive effects on case growth after more than 20 days of nationwide lockdown and quarantine. New cases are declining significantly and daily deaths are flattening out.  ![01 apr italy daily](https://www.globalguardian.com/hs-fs/hubfs/01%20apr%20italy%20daily.png?width=600&name=01%20apr%20italy%20daily.png) ##### **Support** Global Guardian is closely monitoring the situation.
