The Trump administration on Sunday announced new travel restrictions after confirmation of the first coronavirus death in the US, with President Donald Trump signaling a more robust response as US cases rise."Additional cases in the US are likely," Trump said,"but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover."
"Dr. Redfield briefed Pence and Trump after speaking with Washington State health officials that it was a woman. Washington State has since corrected," the official said. Pence also emphasized that"the average American does not need to go out and buy a mask," and that at least 35 million more masks per month are expected to be produced for the United States.
The President said there are now 22 cases of the novel coronavirus in the US. This number does not include individuals repatriated to the United States from Wuhan, China, or from the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Those cases have been counted separately by the CDC. "It's certainly not a good situation. When you lose travel that's a big part of market. But for a period of time we're going to have to do what's necessary. Safety, health -- number one. The markets will take care of themselves," he continued.
The President said at a rally in South Carolina Friday that Democrats are now"politicizing" the virus."Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus," Trump said."They have no clue, they can't even count their votes in Iowa."On Saturday, Trump said he doesn't think coronavirus itself is a"hoax," but the criticism is. Asked if he regretted calling it a hoax during Friday's rally, Trump said he didn't.
