After the first Corona 19 deaths in the United States, President Trump and Vice President Pence announced additional measures at a press conference.

As a foreign measure, we have raised travel alerts for certain regions in Korea and Italy to the highest level of bans.

[Vice / U.S. Vice President (Corona 19)] This is a four-stage travel alert that means Americans should not travel to certain areas of Korea and Italy.]

After the press conference, the US State Department stated that Daegu in Korea was Daegu, while maintaining a three-stage travel inventory for the rest of the country.

The Trump administration also added Iran, the second largest victim of Iran to China, but not South Korea.

However, it is intended to strictly check the health status of travelers from Korea.

Earlier, a man in his 50s in western Washington died of the first corona virus in the United States.

A woman in her 50s in the same state has been infected with Corona 19 after she visited Daegu, and she is quarantined at her home, CNN said.
