15 days to slow
the spread
This
afternoon, President Trump and the White House
Coronavirus Task Force issued new guidelines to help protect
Americans during the global Coronavirus outbreak.
🎬
President Trump: Taking action now will keep America ahead
of the curve
The
new recommendations are simple to follow but will
have a resounding impact on public health. While the President
leads a nationwide response, bringing together government
resources and private-sector ingenuity, every American can help
slow the virus’ spread and keep our most high-risk populations
safe:
- Listen to and
follow the directions of your state and local authorities.
- If you
feel sick, stay home. Do not go to
work. Contact your medical provider.
- If your
children are sick, keep them at
home. Contact your medical provider.
- If someone in
your household has tested positive for the Coronavirus,
keep the entire household at home.
- If you are
an older American, stay home and
away from other people.
- If you are a
person with a serious underlying health condition—such
as a significant heart or lung disease—stay home and away
from other people.
Today’s
guidelines build on the CDC’s recommendations
to help prevent spread of the virus. Americans should continue
practicing strict personal hygiene, including washing hands
regularly for at least 20 seconds at a time and wiping down
surfaces in the home regularly.
Even
if you are young and otherwise healthy, you are
at risk—and your activities can increase the risk of contracting
the Coronavirus for others. Everyone can do their part.
There’s
no better way to protect your family and your
community than by arming yourself with accurate, up-to-date information.

A massive,
unprecedented nationwide response
President
Trump declared a National Emergency in response
to the Coronavirus on Friday, freeing up more than $42 billion in
resources for states and localities.
The
emergency declaration will give healthcare
providers on the front lines of this pandemic the flexibility
they need to respond. President Trump continues to cut through
every piece of unnecessary Washington red tape that may hinder
response efforts, and he is continuing to make every Federal
resource available to those who need it.
“I
know I speak on behalf of the President and our
entire team when I say how grateful we are for governors all across
the country and the seamless partnership that we have forged with
them and with state health officials,” Vice President Mike Pence
said yesterday.
“We
also want to express great appreciation to the
American people. Not surprisingly, it is inspiring to see the way
tens of millions of Americans are responding with compassion
[and] with common sense.”
