Iran Press/America: President Donald Trump said at a news conference on Wednesday that the United States would spend “whatever is appropriate” to combat the disease.
Referring to the number of infected American people, he said at the White House: “Of the 15 people … eight of them have returned to their homes, to stay at their homes until they’re fully recovered. One is in the hospital. And five have fully recovered. And one we think is in pretty good shape,” Reuters reported.
This is while The Washington Post reported that a new case of Coronavirus was confirmed in the United States on Wednesday, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 60.
Also, reportedly masks in the US are becoming scarce and some pharmacies sell a maximum of 4 masks to people.
Trump also said that Vice President Mike Pence will be in charge of the US response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
