Some US states begin to ease restrictions

Similar demonstrations were held last week in Kentucky, Ohio and North Carolina.

At Friday's White House news briefing, Trump was asked whether those states should lift their stay-at-home orders. "No, but elements of what they've done are too much. ... It's too tough," he said.

 

Asked if he is concerned that the protests could spread the virus, Trump said: "These are people expressing their views. They seem to be very responsible people to me. They've been treated a little bit rough."

But Governor Jay Inslee of Washington state said Trump's tweets "encourage illegal and dangerous acts" and said the president was "putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19".

"His unhinged rantings and calls for people to 'liberate' states could also lead to violence. We've seen it before," he said.

As some governors consider easing their restrictions, new estimates by researchers at Harvard University suggest that the US can't safely reopen unless it conducts more than three times the number of coronavirus tests it is currently administering over the next month.

An average of 146,000 people per day have been tested for the coronavirus nationally so far this month, according to the Covid Tracking Project, which on Friday reported 3.6 million total tests across the country.

To reopen the US by mid-May, the number of daily tests performed between now and then should be 500,000 to 700,000, according to Harvard estimates.

On Friday, Trump announced plans to expand nationwide testing, saying that his administration was sending 5.5 million testing swabs to states in the coming weeks. Governors, business executives and lawmakers have all called on the president to expand testing before reopening the country.

"The governors are responsible for testing," said Trump.

A shortage of test kits and technical flaws in the US significantly delayed more widespread testing of the virus, letting it spread undetected for weeks. With more than 695,000 cases, the country has the highest number of confirmed cases in the world.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose state has been the hardest one hit by the virus, said Saturday more testing is necessary.

"The trick with testing is not that we don't know how to do it ... it's bringing this up to scale," Cuomo said.

Cuomo noted that test kits purchased from different companies required different equipment, including chemical reagents. He said that labs in the state told him it was difficult to obtain the chemicals needed for the reagents, as they are produced in China.

"No one has the chemicals because everybody has been overrun with demand. And the chemicals come out of where? China,"Cuomo said. He said states need assistance from the federal government in coordinating the supply chain, including interactions with China. He added that states need a "basic partnership" with the federal government.
