President Trump said Tuesday that the novel coronavirus outbreak in the United States would “get worse before it gets better†amid surges in cases in parts of the country.
“It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better,†Trump, reading from prepared remarks, told reporters at a White House briefing Tuesday evening.
Trump went on to implore Americans to wear masks, physically distance and wash their hands, and urged young Americans to avoid bars.
“We’re asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance, wear a mask,†Trump said. “Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact. They’ll have an effect, and we need everything we can get.â€
