There are at least 1,002,498cases of coronavirus in the US, according to Johns Hopkins University's tally of cases.

The number of confirmed US coronavirus cases topped 500,000 on April 10, according to Johns Hopkins’ tally.

Several states are now beginning to lift restrictions even as U.S. officials warn social isolation needs to continue for months. The Trump administration on Monday was reviewing draft guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for how schools, restaurants, churches and businesses can safely reopen.

“Social distancing will be with us through the summer to really ensure that we protect one another as we move through these phases,” Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

In New York, Gov. Cuomo said each business that wants to reopen would have to submit a plan seeking approval. Speaking to reporters at his daily coronavirus news briefing, Cuomo said the disease is still spreading even though the number of hospitalizations and deaths continues to fall.

“The number is down from the past few days, but that’s no solace for 337 families who are suffering today," he said, referring to patients who died from COVID-19 Sunday.
