The coronavirus pandemic has been taking a heavy toll on the US, with infection cases more than the combined total of cases in the next four most affected countries – Italy, Spain, France and Germany.<\/p>\n

The exponential rise in new COVID-19 cases since late March has pushed the US to the top.<\/p>\n

So far, the US has reported 792,938 coronavirus infection cases and 42,518 death cases. Meanwhile, 72,389 patients have already recovered and discharged.<\/p>\n

New York is the worst-hit state in the US with 252,094 infection cases and 18,929 deaths cases.<\/p>\n

However, the American Government has been taking stringent measures including nationwide lockdown, suspension of flights and border restrictions to control the contagion.<\/p>\n

Lately, US President Donald Trump has tweeted that he will suspend all immigration into the country through an executive order.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Trump expressed that he was taking the decision to curb the coronavirus and also to support Americans suffering from unemployment.<\/p>\n

In the last four weeks, more than 20 million Americans have lost employment after companies laid off employees amid nationwide lockdown.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!<\/p>\n
