The US has confirmed 787,901 COVID-19 cases as per the report by Johns Hopkins University. It has surpassed Italy and Spain in terms of the death rate. A few USA residents are agitated by the lockdown and they even took to the streets to demand an end to the lockdown. This led US President Donald Trump to tweet.
He wrote, “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! (sic).”
Last month, it had suspended all the routine visa services. Trump has talked about suspending immigration visa, the H-1B visa, which is more popular among Indian IT professionals.
The pandemic has affected the economy a lot. Many have lost their jobs while some are on the verge of losing. At least 22 million Americans have lost their jobs since the lockdown.
We wish everything gets back to normal and everyone leads a normal life.
