President Donald Trump said he’ll announce federal guidelines on lifting stay-at-home orders that have collapsed the economy at 6 p.m. in Washington, after assuring lawmakers earlier Thursday that coronavirus testing is improving.

Trump said he would reveal the new guidelines during his daily news conference. He has been eager to return Americans to work and to schools even as the coronavirus outbreak crests in the U.S., where more than 641,000 people have been infected and more than 31,000 have died.
