Trump Pushes for Schools Reopening While U.S. Coronavirus Cases Top 3 Million

WEDNESDAY, July 8, 2020 (HealthDay News)-- The tally of U.S. coronavirus cases passed 3 million on Tuesday, even as President Donald Trump pushed for schools across the country to reopen in the fall.

The pressure to find a way to resume classes in person was put on governors, mayors and other local officials during a day of conference calls and public events at the White House, The New York Times reported.

"We hope that most schools are going to be open," Trump said Tuesday. "We are very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools to get them open."
