President Donald Trump asked Americans on Wednesday to do their part to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the United States.
Trump said, urging Americans to practice good hygiene:
Each of us has a role to play in defeating this virus. Wash your hands, clean often-used surfaces, cover your face and mouth if you sneeze or cough, and most of all if you are sick or not feeling well, stay home.
The president spoke to the American people in an address from the Oval Office to speak about the threat posed by the virus and detail the actions that his administration was prepared to take.
The president asked Americans to listen to local guidelines issued by officials regarding school closures, distancing themselves socially, and reducing large gatherings of people.
“Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow,” Trump said. “Every community faces different risks, and it is critical for you to follow the guidelines of your local officials who are working closely with our federal health experts, and they are the best.”
