VP Pence on Coronavirus: Trump Has No Higher Priority than the Health and Safety of the American People
EXCERPT:
PENCE: "Before I begin, though, allow me to address the issue that I know is on the hearts and minds of people all across this country, the potential impact of the Coronavirus here in America. President Donald Trump has no higher priority than the health, safety, and well-being of the American people.
(Applause)
Last month, following word of the outbreak of the Coronavirus in China, President Trump took unprecedented action to protect the health of Americans. He declared a public health emergency. We suspended travel to the United States from China. We initiated quarantine efforts for American citizens returning, and established a White House Coronavirus Task Force, which has literally met every single day to protect the American people.”
