Messonier, director of the New Coronavirus Program at the US CDC, held a press conference on the 25th by telephone.
In this context, Director Messonnier acknowledged that cases of unknown transmission continually occur not only in China but also in countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Italy, and that global epidemics are approaching.
He added, `` In the past, we were able to minimize the number of infected people and gain time by strengthening travel restrictions and quarantine from China, but now it is not a matter of whether the infection will spread in the United States, but when it will spread. The US is forecasting that a new type of coronavirus will eventually be transmitted in the United States.
Messonier also said that the risk of affecting American life is now low, but said, `` We have to take measures that affect our lives, such as closing schools and stopping large-scale meetings. And called for guidelines to prepare for the global pandemic of influenza to minimize the impact, and called on local communities to prepare for the epidemic.
