cases in the world. just behind the u.s. surging past russia overnight. the world health organization is now calling brazil the new epicenter of the pandemic. and the cdc is estimating 35% of people with covid-19 don't exhibit any symptoms. that's much higher than originally thought. the cdc also estimating 40% of transmissions occur before the onset of any symptom. we have team coverage right here in new jersey to washington, d.c. to mexico city and start with abc's trevor ault who is on the jersey shore with the latest on the re-openings and restrictions in place for this, the unofficial start to the summer. trevor, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. millions of people are going to be heading outside this memorial day weekend. that's a foregone conclusion like it is every other year. what state officials are hoping is by opening up a bunch of new locations, they'll give people the space to continue to social

distance, but this weekend will still be a test for the entire country. this memorial day weekend, americans eager to get outside are being given extensive opportunities to do so. anticipating a crush of people, states rolling back restrictions on beaches, golf courses, mountain trails and more. >> i'm so happy. i love it. i'm so happy i'm out of the house. >> reporter: texas bringing back water parks this weekend, locations like typhoon texas clearing out chairs and limiting people to create space. and in indiana officials urging people to go to the state's larger beaches where thed ha >> we're getting our 15 miles of beach ready for what we expect to be a very busy and perhaps very crowded beach. >> reporter: while right now in florida all youth sports and camps have the go ahead to return. >> we are not going to be instituting a lot of rules or really any rules. this is a parent's decision. no parent is required to have their kid. if you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't do it.

rshoste ter: up and down the >> we expect to have at least one good month of summer. >> reporter: those hopes as the cdc updated its covid-19 guidelines saying the virus mainly spreads directly from person to person and doesn't spread easily from contaminated surfaces. the agency also now estimates that at least a third of people who contract covid-19 don't show any symptoms. still, major areas are approaching the re-opening process with an abundance of caution. new york city is closing 41 miles of streets to give people more space and while walking on beaches there is allowed, swimming, sports and cooking are banned. in california, most beaches are open with restrictions like no sunbathing. governor gavin newsom urging millions of the state's residents not to act as if the pandemic has passed just because the sun has come up. >> there's also another reality

that is stubborn and that is the virulence of this disease remains and lives are continuing to be lost. >> reporter: in new jersey, masks on bradley beach are strongly encouraged but not required and many are choosing to go without one. some people not yet feeling safe enough to endure the crowds. >> i'm actually headed out of town for the weekend. so i'm going to stay away from it. >> reporter: while all 50 states have set re-opening plans in motion, six states are still seeing a rise in cases including alabama where the health care system is being pushed to its limit. >> well, right now, if you're from montgomery and you need an icu bed, you're in trouble. >> reporter: that as governor kay ivey pushes ahead with a new order re-opening schools, day cares, summer camps and entertainment venues. >> i worry that as people loosen their own personal protection, as they start to crowd together, that that's going to potentially give us another peak. >> reporter: in neighboring

louisiana, another victory being celebrated.m wheeled out of willis knighton hospital in shreveport after seven days on a ventilator. >> that's one of the best parts about our job is getting to witness these amazing recoveries. >> reporter: now this weekend here in belmar they'll have ambassadors working the beaches encouraging people to stay six feet apart and new jersey officials will monitor crowds with drones. we are still a long way from normal life, but for so many people just being able to go outside is considered something to celebrate. eva? >> a lot of people will be celebrating this weekend. trevor ault, thank you. president trump has deemed houses of worship as essential demanding governors re-open them immediately and threatening to take action if they don't.waing with the battle lines being drawn over places of faith. good morning, andrew. >> reporter: good morning.

as a broader push to re-open the country, the president focusing on churches this weekend saying that he wants in-person services to resume immediately. president trump is pushing for places of prayer to re-open amid the coronavirus pandemic saying houses of worship should resume in-person fellowship. >> in america we need more prayer, not less. >> reporter: trump deeming churches, mosques and synagogues essential and is calling on governors nationwide to let them re-open this memorial day weekend even though some areas remain under coronavirus lockdown. >> some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out churches and other riges of worship. >> rr:his as pli health officials urge caution. the centers for disease control and prevention released new guidelines for the faith community on how to open back up safely advising people to promote social distancing in congregations and minimizing the sharing of worship material.

>> if we move too fast, have too many congregants in any of these places, if they're too close together, if we're singing, if we're unmasked these are the type of measures that will cause this virus to spread like wildfire. >> reporter: in virginia churches can be at 50% capacity but need to continue practicing social distancing and good hygiene. >> we want to make sure that individuals are allowed to practice their religion and that they're allowed to do it safely. >> reporter: though some virginia churches won't be going back to in-person services just yet, opting instead for online services. >> i don't want people to be nervous to come to church. that's not what church is for. it's about meeting jesus which we're doing effectively online. >> reporter: in new york the epicenter of the u.s. outbreak, some churches have already begun to re-open for private prayer. >> we also have a duty to care for the hearts and souls of our people. >> reporter: and the president even threatening governors if

they do not comply and re-open churches, but it's unclear if he even has the authority to do so. eva? >> thank you, andrew. this is your first appearance on weekend "gma." we want to say welcome to the team. >> reporter: thank you for that warm welcome, eva. it's truly a dream come true for me. >> good to have you with us. >> making his debut with the face mask, a sign of the times. andrew, thank you so much. we will talk to you soon. meanwhile, turning to latin america where cases of coronavirus are surging in the region's two largest countries, mexico and brazil. abc's senior foreign correspondent ian pannell is in mexico city with the concerns over rising infections there. ian, good morning to you. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, whit. that's right. latin america is now the new global epicenter of this pandemic. here in mexico we're seeing record n ocases. in fact, we've just seen the highest number of deaths being reported but some controversy over that tally with some suggestions by an independent research group that the real number could be as many as three

times higher. as in many other cases, we're seeing hospitals and morgues nearing capacity. this last week we visited two crematoria and saw the caseloads rising. they used to deal with four to five bodies a day now 25 operating 24 hours a day seven days a week and still there is a backlog but as you say the situation further south in brazil is far worse. it now has the fastest growth rate in the world and has overtaken russia to become the second highest infection rate only behind the united states. there we're seeing hospitals overflowing, morgues overflowing, mass graves being dug and political controversy over brazilian president bolsonaro who dismissed covid-19, calling it a little flu. also controversy over his advocacy of the anti-malarial drug, the one president trump has been taking. the w.h.o. saying there's no evidence it helps and could in fact be detrimental. whit? >> ian, as you pointed out a

lack of testing in that area as well. also, a sense of a threat of how much infections where you are could pose to the u.s.? >> reporter: yeah, undoubtedly there is a threat on both sides border. many people feel that land border is completely closed. that's not the case. there is still traffic passing through. one truck driver reporting this week that there were no tests as he entered america. again, air travel is going on. we're seeing undocumented migrants being send back. guatemala complaining some arriving with positive for covid-19 so there are risks from land and air travel running in both directions to america right now and i think the question this morning is whether or not president trump will enact a travel ban on brazil as he's threatened to do and is actively considering. whit? >> something to watch in the weeks ahead. ian pannell in mexico city for us, thank you. dan? >> thanks, whit.

we turn to the presidential race and joe biden facing backlash over his comments about black voters. the former vice president and presumptive democratic nominee backtracking hours later. abc's rachel scott is in washington with more on how people are reacting to all of this. rachel, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. his campaign saying biden made these comments in just, but he is expressing regret, pushing back against accusations that he's taking the black vote for granted. this morning, joe biden is walking back this message to black undecided voters. >> if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or trump, you're not black. >> it has nothing to do with trump. it's the fact i want something for my community. >> take a look at my record, man. >> those comments igniting backlash and outrageous. hours later the former vp backtracked. >> the bottom line of all this is perhaps i was much too cavalier. i know that comments have come off like i was taking the african-american vote for

granted but nothing can be further from the truth. and i shouldn't have been such a wise guy. >> reporter: senator tim scott the only black republican in the senate called biden's comments arrogant and condescending. >> what i don't hear from the democrat leadership today are people speaking out against vice president biden's comments. >> reporter: the democratic primary biden pulled ahead with overwhelming support from black voters. but it's not the first time he's had to clean up a comment on race. in july he apologized for his startling comments about working with segregationist senators. >> i regret it and i'm sorry for any of the pain or misconception they may have caused anybody. >> reporter: while the trump campaign said the comments were dehumanizing, biden's campaign pointed to some of trump's racist and inflammatory remarks launching his campaign in 2015 saying this about mexican immigrants. >> they're rapists and some, i assume, are good people. >> reporter: and in 2017 there was his response to neo-nazi protests in charlottesville.

>> you had some very bad people ls people that were very fine people on both sides. >> reporter: last summer the president suggesting four american congresswomen of color should go back to the countries they came from and inaccurately questioned the birthplace of president barack obama. and for biden this backlash comes at a critical point as he searches for a running mate. his team says they have not started the vetting process, but biden said multiple black women were being considered. eva? >> rachel scott for us, thank you. now to the death of ahmaud arbery, the man who recorded the shooting of that unarmed black jogger is now facing murder charges. but his attorney insists he didn't commit a crime. abc's diane macedo has the details. >> reporter: this morning, prosecutors in cobb county, georgia, are promising justice after charging a third suspect in the death of 25-year-old ahmaud arbery. before his arrest, william roddie bryan was best known as the man who recorded the last

moments of arbery's life but investigators now say he was more than just a witness. >> i can tell you that if we believed he was a witness, we wouldn't have arrested him. >> reporter: after a virtual friday court appearance, bryan is now formally charged with criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment and felony murder accused of attempting to confine and detain arbery with his vehicle as he shot the video. >> if you are committing a felony crime and that crime ends up in the death of another human being, then that's a felony murder. so we believe the evidence would indicate that his underlying felony helped cause the death of ahmaud arbery. >> reporter: bryan's arrest comes two weeks after charges were brought against gregory and travis mcmichael seen approaching arbery on february 23rd as his family says he was just out for a jog. the video shot by bryan then shows arrive our arbery and travis struggling over travis' shotgun before three shots are fired. bryan told abc news earlier this month he had no relationship with the mcmichaels and was fully cooperating with the

investigation. >> i'm not proud that i shot the video. but maybe it helps in the end. >> reporter: his attorney calls his arrest political. >> mr. brybility. roddie passed a polygraph that effectively exonerates him of any criminal responsibility in this matter. >> reporter: arbery's family attorney says the video shows otherwise. >> we knew that william bryan had followed ahmaud, he had used his car to block the path of ahmaud so he couldn't escape. >> reporter: bryan has not entered a plea. during that court appearance he did not enter a plea. as for whether we'll see more arrests in the case, the head of the georgia bureau of investigations is not ruling it out, but that he's confident the people who needed to be arrested have been. whit? >> diane macedo for us, thank you. breaking news out west. flames engulfling a warehouse at
