we just completed another meeting of the White House Corona Virus Task Force.

程度の副詞

It's been a very busy and a productive day here at the White House, President Donald Trump has no higher priority than the safety and health of the American people.

分詞構句

And President has directed our task force, employing the full resources of the federal government in full partnership with state and local health authorities to make that priority of reality.

As I stand before you today, we have more than 100 Corona virus cases in the United States that is counting domestic cases and cases of Corona virus of Americans that were returned from China or the diamond of Princess.

I'm pleased to report that most of those who contractor Corona virus within our care are continuing to recover.

But sadly, we received word today that another American has passed away and their family has our deepest condolences.

That being said, thanks to presidents, strong leadership and the professionalism of all of our federal agencies, Health and Human Service is CDC and state and local health officials all across this country.

The risk to the American public of contracting the Corona virus remains low to be clear if you are a healthy American.

The risk of contracting the Corona virus remains love, but it is still a good idea to engage in common sense practices that that are always recommended this time of year.

So as someone who has a mother is 87 years of age who has married kids living around the country, a brief tutorial on prevention for yourself, for your family and your loved ones, it's a good idea to stay home When you're sick.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.

Throw the tissue in the trash, clean and disinfect frequently.

Wash your hands with either a disinfectant or with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and let me say again.

As we've said before, there's no need for Americans to buy masks.

And the common sense practices that I just described are all available at CDC dot gov.

Today we we had a series of meetings here at the White House and on Capitol Hill.

We met with executives of the airline industry, executives of commercial labs, executives of nursing homes and our team also met with the Republican and Democratic caucuses in the House of Representatives.

And we were pleased to learn that just shortly ago the House of Representatives passed a federal funding bill by a virtually unanimous marginal Now move to the Senate.

And the legislation implements the president's vision to ensure that not only do our federal agencies have the support resource is that they need, but also that our state and local partners have their support.

In my conversations with governors all the way through this afternoon, I know they're grateful for the bipartisan spirit that has characterized of this funding bill, and we'll continue to work through that process as president, Trump said.

We're all in this together and he deployed a whole of government approach.

But thanks for the president's leadership.

It has actually developed into a Hole of America approach, and the meetings today with industry leaders is a reflection of that.

As Dr Burkes will will indicate in just a few moments, with some of the data that we're evaluating from around the world.

It does appear that the elderly are the most vulnerable, especially those with serious health issues at the president's direction, As a result, Seema Verma will describe that the Center for Medicaid Medicare service's, has issued new guidelines for nursing homes nationwide.

We have raised the bar regarding infectious disease control at our nursing homes, and in addition, Administrator Verma will explain how we are going to focus.

All of our inspection resource is for the foreseeable future on compliance with infection control standards.

Generally, we we, uh we monitor our nursing homes for abuse and to collect.

But at the president's direction, we're going to focus exclusively on ensuring that those who are in nursing homes people operating the nursing homes, like many of the CEOs that we met with today, are complying with the new standards to keep our elderly safe.

President also met today with airline executives, and I'll reiterate, as the president said, our profound gratitude to our partners in the airline industry.

They have worked with us in a CZ we say flowing Americans through particular airports, that screening we're working very closely with the airlines on contact information.

If a person is tested is positive for the Corona virus.

We're working with the airlines to get all the information, not just about that person but about who they sat next to and who else was on the flight and the president are very grateful.

As we announced yesterday, I'm pleased to report that as of yesterday morning, in addition to the travel ban from China, we've suspended all travel coming in from China.

We've suspended all travel coming in from Iran, and even foreign nationals who visit either one of those countries are barred from coming into this country for 14 days.

Um, we also established a travel advisory for Italy, portions of Italy and portions of South Korea over the weekend.

But even as importantly, as of yesterday morning, we fully implemented a screening process.

All direct flights from all airports in South Korea and Italy are now being subject to multiple screens before passengers board to come to the United States of America.

State Department worked very vigorously bring that about and we're grateful for the cooperation the governments of Italy, governments of South Korea as well as our airline partners in making that a reality.

Finally, with regard to testing, we had a meeting today that gave us great hope for great progress in the near future on expanding testing across the country.

We have a ways to go yet, but I'm pleased to report, as we've been able to convey Thio state governments, governors around the country is that thanks to the good work of the FDA and Dr Steve Han who's with me here today?

Now all state laboratories, all university laboratories at the state level can conduct Corona virus tests without any additional assets or resource is from the federal government.

They can conduct the test all across the country in all the states.

Beyond that, a CZ we announced through the efforts of HHS 2500 kits of tests are going out this week that 2500 kits, including test, has gone out this week.

A test that will be available this week will continue to build on that number.

But perhaps most significantly, thanks to Dr Burke's efforts and leadership, we brought together today at the White House the leaders of all of the largest commercial laboratories in this country, companies like quest that have vast capabilities, logistics and testing capabilities, and we were pleased to report today that they have created a consortium to share information and to share Resource is and literally have told us, that is we go through what is called the validation process on testing that by next week individual companies will be able to do a CZ, they said, to meet thousands of tests of Corona virus if they are needed and required on many, many multiples, more of that in the not distant future.

Our objective here is Dr Vertes, raised with the task force is is we've got hospitals in affected areas and those that are requesting that have kits.

We've got universities and state labs that now can perform the test on a requested basis.

But our objective, ultimately and quickly as possible, is to have tests made through these commercial laboratories and commercial providers that your local doctor your your CVS, your med check is able to have a Corona virus test.

We're working to make that a reality, but again, it's one more example.

It's not just a whole of government approach.

Whether be our nursing home industry with BR airline industry, whether it be our commercial laboratories, I can I can speak on behalf of President Trump and our entire task force when I say we're profoundly grateful for the spirit that's being reflected by companies all across the United States of America grateful for the leadership at the state level.

Uh, and, uh, and the American people should be confident that that spirit of partnership is going to continue to drive this at every level is we work our way through dealing with the Corona virus in the United States.

With that, I'm gonna recognize, uh, Dr Deborah Burke's for her comments.

Over the over the last 12 hours, we've been able to receive information both from South Korea and Italy adding to our China information.

And it's as we thought, the elderly and pre existing conditions have a more serious eldest went and confronted with the Corona virus reassuringly in South Korea.

Tow us an immediate age in Italy Waas, 81 of those who succumbed those who became ill.

But it also has really caused us to focus on the Americans who might be most vulnerable.

Resource is attention and all of our capacity to ensure those who have preexisting conditions and those who are our elderly have access to the best prevention and treatment options.

The prevention option slow right through all of us to ensure that we have good protective hygiene for our elderly clients around the globe.

And as you heard, because of the risk for our nation's seniors, we're doubling down on our efforts today.

One was to hospitals about triaging and placement for patients with suspected or confirmed Corona virus.

We also put out some information to nursing homes, about limiting visitors to nursing homes, monitoring staff.

And then finally, we put out some information to our state surveyors that are going to be serving our nation's nursing homes and hospitals around infection control.

So all of that information went out this morning.

I think what I'd like Thio highlight today is the first echo with the vice President started with when he was given the American people.

The advice that he did as he went through that we do have listed out on our CDC website CDC dot gov.

It's very pragmatic about washing your hands 20 seconds of soap and water or using the other disinfectants.

Obviously, training yourself to, uh, cover your sneeze or cough either in your elbow or with a Kleenex that he will dispose of.

I think the most important thing for many of those individuals that might be a little tight.

You're not helping your colleagues by going to work sick.

Um, and again, I think these were just very pragmatic.
