REUTERS/Shannon StapletonNEW YORK: Another wave of US states are preparing to lift coronavirus restrictions this week against the warnings of many public health experts as the White House sees this month's jobless rate hitting 16 per cent or higher.

Those unprecedented restrictions resulted in a record 26.5 million Americans filing for unemployment benefits since mid-March. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office predicted on Friday that the economy would contract at nearly a 40 per cent annual rate in the second quarter. Even next year, the CBO forecast the unemployment rate averaging above 10 per cent.White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett told reporters the US jobless rate would likely hit 16 per cent or more in April.

New York and other states have extended restrictions to mid-May. New York reported 367 new deaths on Sunday, its lowest increase since Mar 30. Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo said construction and manufacturing would be the first businesses to reopen and could restart after May 15 in the upstate region with certain precautions and if cases continue to decline.Tennessee said it will allow restaurants to reopen on Monday. Mississippi's stay-at-home order expires the same day.
