Trump spoke to reporters about the global coronavirus epidemic at a press conference Wednesday evening where he declared that America is at low risk of an outbreak.

“The risk to the American people remains very low. We have the greatest experts in the world right here,” Trump said. “We’re ready to adapt. We’re ready to do whatever we have to if the disease spreads.”

U.S. coronavirus cases

“The level that we’ve had in our country is very low,” Trump said, adding that nearly all of the 15 Americans who were diagnosed in the country are recovering from the virus.

Eight of the 15 affected people have returned to their homes. One remains in the hospital in serious condition. Six other people are still being treated.

U.S. coronavirus response

Trump spoke about the U.S. strategy to confront the virus so far, including screening of those coming into the U.S. from affected areas, quarantines for those at risk, and rapid test kit and vaccine development.

Department of Human Health and Services Secretary Alex M. Azar said, “The president’s early and decisive actions have succeeded in buying us valuable time” in planning and combatting the spread of the virus in the U.S.

$2.5 billion funding request

The Trump administration made an emergency $2.5 billion request to Congress this week for funds that will be used to prepare hospitals for a significant coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., as well as escalating vaccine development.
