“Because of all we’ve done the risk to the American people remains very low,” Trump said Wednesday at a news conference at the White House.
Markets fell for a fifth day, continuing a slide as U.S. health officials warn of the virus’s likely spread in the U.S. Democrats and Republicans called for more funding than Trump requested to fight a potential U.S. outbreak.
Trump said “I don’t think it’s inevitable” that the virus spreads within the U.S., as a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official warned on Tuesday. “Whatever happens we’re totally prepared.”
Trump and Pence appeared with U.S. health officials to discuss the government’s coronavirus response. He said that of 15 Americans initially infected by the virus, eight have returned home and one remains hospitalized. Five have fully recovered, he said.
“We have quarantined those infected and those at risk,” he said. “We are rapidly developing a vaccine. The vaccine is coming along well.”
