Trump fights new crown pneumonia

China News Agency, Washington, March 14 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) US President Trump said at the White House on the 14th that he had been tested for the new crown virus on the evening of the 13th. The test results need to wait for one to two days.

Trump revealed the news at a press conference that day. "I decided that I should do it because someone asked me 'have been tested' at yesterday's press conference," he said.

U.S. President Trump announced a "national emergency" on the 13th in response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. This initiative will release $ 50 billion in funding to help state and local governments respond to the outbreak. When questioned by reporters, he stated at the time that he might be tested soon.

A week ago, Trump held a bilateral meeting with Brazilian President Bossonaro at the Florida Sea Lake Manor. Two participants have been diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia. In response, White House doctor Sean Conley issued a memorandum on the evening of the 13th that Trump had no new symptoms of pneumonia. According to the guidelines of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Trump's contact with the above two persons is a low risk of transmission, so there is no need to isolate himself.

From the 14th, the White House began measuring body temperature of reporters participating in the conference. The press office of the vice president's office said that a reporter was refused entry to the White House briefing room that day because of three temperature tests above 38 degrees in 15 minutes.

U.S. Vice President Pence announced at a press conference that the United Kingdom and Ireland were on the list of travel restrictions to the United States, effective March 16. At this point, the United States has restricted its entry to 28 countries due to the new crown epidemic. (Finish)
