New U.S. government figures showed on Friday that coronavirus infections would probably spike during the summer if stay-at-home orders are lifted after 30 days as planned, the New York Times reported.
The New York Times cited the new projections it obtained from the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services.
If U.S. President Donald Trump lifts shelter-in-place orders after 30 days, the death total is expected to reach 200,000, according to the New York Times reported.
The April 9 estimates did not have dates for when stay-at-home orders were delivered or dates for when spikes would occur, the newspaper said.
