Uh, we have 43 domestic cases of the Corona virus, 48 cases of individuals who have returned to the United States.

Of the domestic cases, 29 of the 43 are either in California or Washington State.

And we have communities that are facing facing what the experts tell us could potentially be a cluster in those communities.

Sadly, today, there were four additional fatalities, Um, raising the number of that.

Six Americans have lost their life to the Corona virus.

And on behalf of the president on all of the American people, we extend our deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of those that were lost.

And it is remarkable to think that there may well be a vaccine going to clinical trials within the next six weeks.

Nature of trials, as the experts have explained to us, is that the vaccine might yet not be available till late this year or early next, but that therapeutics giving relief to people that contract the Corona virus could literally be available by this summer or early fall.

We're we're going to follow the facts and listen to the experts every step of the way the action the president authorized this weekend raising the travel advisory.

The American people should know that we are saying that they you should not travel to certain sections of Italy or South Korea.

Um, those advisories may expand, but will will allow the case the case load in those countries to define that.

In addition to that, by establishing the screening protocol, which will be in full force and effect within the next 12 hours in both countries, we'll ensure that anyone traveling on a direct flight to the United States of America receives multiple screenings at all airports in Italy, in South Korea.

But to your point of the nature of the European Union is one doesn't require a passport to move around.

So our task force spoke today about new cases, and there were some in several European countries were following that very closely and again, we'll listen to the experts, we'll watch the cases, and and I know the president will make the decisions with regard to both travel advisories or restrictions on the basis of those facts.

So I spoke with Dr Ted Rose today and Dr Mike Ryan need an incident manager for the World Health Organization about this precise question because wanted to get a sense of their thinking, how they're assessing the designation of pandemic status, and I'll let them fully speak for themselves.

But at the moment, while we're seeing community spreading in multiple regions of the world, there's there's not a there many definitions that people use around pandemic.

And one issue that the W H O is focused on is just sheer magnitude.

And while we've had very large numbers of cases and spreading within China, the actual absolute number of cases outside of China, while reflecting community spreading, are not of the magnitude comparable to any other pandemics that have been declared before.

For instance, even the H one n one where you have billions of individuals infected across the world s So that's what they're.

That's how they are thinking about this on.

We're just going to keep working with them.

We don't have a view as to whether they should designated a pandemic or not a pandemic.

I just wanted to get a sense how they're thinking about it in assessing it, and that's I think reflective of their current thinking there, but I'll let them.

I asked them if they could put out some points about how they're assessing this, though.

Well, I can say there's been no recommendation about any limitations on travel within the United States of America.

But let me let the experts speak Thio recommendations with regard to travel.

I travel across this country all the time.

My kids live all over the country and, uh, look, this is a time to use common sounds good time to wash your hands And, uh, but this time of year, that's always a good decision.

And while we've had a tragic losses for today, um, of the reality is, as I said, 29 of the 43 domestic cases are in California and in Washington state and are centered in very specific areas that were working to identify the source on.

 But, um, but I don't I think people should just continue to use common sense this time of year.
