Trump Seeks to Reassure Nation After 1st US Coronavirus Death

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - U.S. President Donald Trump, flanked by Vice President
   Mike Pence and members of the administration's coronavirus task force,
   on Saturday sought to reassure the country as the first domestic death
   from the new disease was reported.

   Trump called for the media and politicians "not do anything to incite a
   panic because there's no reason to panic at all."

   "Whatever the circumstance, we're prepared," he said.

   Trump's administration is imposing further travel restrictions related
   to Iran due to a significant coronavirus outbreak there and issuing "do
   not travel" warnings for the regions of Italy and South Korea that have
   been hardest hit by COVID-19.

   Trump has authorized a ban on foreign nationals who have traveled to
   Iran in the past 14 days, announced by Pence, who added that the State
   Department is working with the Italian and South Korean governments to
   enhance screenings in those countries of individuals traveling to the
   United States.

   Additional travel restrictions could be imposed, including along the
   border with Mexico. "

   We're thinking about all borders," Trump said.
