Since then, several White House staff, including National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, have been tested positive for the new crown virus.
The report said that as the White House took this action, Washington was still continuing its efforts to deal with the epidemic.
Health officials said that since the outbreak, more than 13,000 people in the region have been infected with the new crown and 607 people have died of the new crown virus.
According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 6:29 on September 2, Beijing time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new crown in the United States exceeded 6.07 million, and the cumulative number of deaths exceeded 180,000.
