Country but now what weve seen with the stock market were now in bear territory. For the first time in 8 plus years and that has had a huge effect on the economy and a lot of volatility there so were starting see whitening affects weve had the bands in San Francisco plan in Santa Clara County on large gatherings of people over brooks of 1000 are banned in both those cities now oakland joining making that announcement today as well as San Francisco. It was we reported last night there was an elderly patients at a nursing home a Sacramento County who passed away in california. Lets check in now see if the president is at the podium ready to speak. My fellow americans. One to speak with you about our nations unprecedented response to the coronavirus outbreak. That started in china and is now spreading throughout the world. World health organization. Officially announced that this is a global pandemic. We have been in frequent contact with our allies and we are marshaling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the american people. This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign buyers in modern history. I am confident that by counting. And continuing to take these tough nations we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens and we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this from the beginning of time nations and people have faced unforeseen challenges, including large scale and very Dangerous Health threats. This is the way it always was and always will be. Only matters how you respond and we are responding with great speed and professionalism our team is the best anywhere in the world at the very start of the outbreak. We instituted sweeping travel restrictions on china and put in place the first federally mandated quarantine in over 50 years. We did plan a Public Health emergency and issued the highest level of travel warning. One other countries as the virus spread its horrible infections. Taking fairly intense action we have seen dramatically, fewer cases of the virus in the United States. Now president in here. The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from china and other hot spots as a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States. Were seeded by travelers from europe. After consulting with our top Government Health drofessionals. I have decided to take several strong but necessary actions to protect the health and wellbeing of all americans. To keep new cases from entering our shores. We will be suspending all travel from europe to the United States for the next 30 days. It will go into effect friday at midnight. These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. There will be exemptions for americans who have undergone appropriate screenings and these prohibitions will not only applied to the tremendous amount of trade in cargo. But various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from europe to the United States is what we are discussing these restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom at the same time we are monitoring the situation in china and south korea. And as their situation improves we will re evaluate the restrictions and warnings there currently in place for a possible early opening. Earlier this week i met with the leaders of Health Insurance industry. Who have agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments extend Insurance Coverage to these treatments and to prevent surprise medical billing. We are cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapies available in record time. These treatments will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus additionally last week i signed into law and million funding bill to help cdc and other Government Agencies fight the virus and support vaccines, treatments and distribution of medical supplies. Testing and testing capabilities are expanding rapidly day by day we are moving very quickly. The vast majority of americans the risk is very very low. The young and Healthy People can expect to recover fully and quickly if they should get the virus. Hi is risk is for Elderly Population with Underlying Health conditions. The Elderly Population must be very very careful particular were strongly advising that news homes for the elderly suspend all medically unnecessary visits. In general Older Americans should also avoid nonessential travel in crowded areas and my administration is coordinating directly with communities with the largest outbreaks and we have issued guidance on school closures, social distancing and reducing large gatherings. Smart action. Today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow. Every Community Faces different risks and it is critical for you to follow the guidelines of the local officials who are working closely with our federal Health Experts and they are the best for all americans, it is essential that everyone take extra precautions and practice, good hygiene. Each of us has a role to play in defeating this virus. Wash your hands. Clean often use surfaces cover your face and mouth if you sneeze or cough. And most of all if you are sick are not feeling. Well, stay home. To ensure that working americans impacted by the virus can stay home without fear financial hardship. I will soon be taking Emergency Action which is unprecedented to provide financial relief. This will be targeted for workers who are hill. The quarantine or caring for others due to corona virus. I will be asking congress to take legislative action to extend this really because of the economic policies that we have put into place over the last 3 years we have the greatest economy anywhere in the world by far our banks and Financial Institutions are fully capitalized and incredibly strong their unemployment is at a historic low. This vast Economic Prosperity gives us flexibility reserves and resources to handle any threat that comes our way this is not a financial crisis. This is just a temporary moment of time then we will over come together as a nation and as a world. However to provide extra support for American Workers families and businesses. Tonight i am announcing the following additional actions. I am instructing the Small Business administration to exercise available authority to provide capital and liquidity to firms affected by the corona virus. The effective immediately. The sba will begin providing economic loans in affected states. And low interest loans will help Small Businesses overcome temporary economic disruptions caused by the virus to this end, im asking congress to increase funding for this program by an additional 50 million using the Emergency Authority i will be instructing the Treasury Department to defer tax payments without interest or penalties for certain individuals and businesses negatively impacted. This action will provide more than million of additional liquidity to the economy. And calling on congress to provide americans with the media payroll tax relief. Hopefully they will consider this very strongly. We are at a critical time in the fight against the virus. We made a lifesaving move with early action on china. Now we must take the same action with europe. We will not delay. I will never hesitate to take any necessary steps to protect the lives health and safety of the american people. I will always put the wellbeing of america first. If we are vigilant and we can reduce the chance of infection which we will. We will significantly impede the transmission of the virus. Virus will not have a chance against s no nation is more prepared for more resilient than the United States. We have the best economy. The most advanced healthcare. And the most talented doctors, scientists and research is anywhere in the world. In this together. We must put politics aside stop the partisanship and unified together as one nation and one family. As history has proven time and time again americans always rise to the challenge and overcome adversity our future remains brighter than anyone can imagine. Acting with compassion and love we will heal the sick. Care for those in need help our fellow citizens and emerge from this challenge stronger and more unified than ever before.

The operation in oakland on has been a federal effort and we in the state of california are there in lockstep with our federal partners, our local partners to support them in that effort and that effort involves allowing these americans and citizens of other countries to come off of the ship in a way that say for their house and for the surrounding communities. There have been a handful of them that had some symptoms that didnt require evaluations to hospitals, many of them have not had any symptoms at all and im do not require care at a hospital and for those individuals who are able to move on to one of our military bases in california either miramar and theyre doing that right now in a manner that is safe and theyre going directly to those locations where they can be cared for with the right services again under a federal operations. There are some individuals who are not able to go to those military bases because they may have mild symptoms, im not necessarily related to covent but they may have about reasons why they cant go to those military bases and we really want to lean forward in california and protect our Health Care Delivery system and ensure the hospitals are used for those who need to be in the hospital and so the well hear more about her other potential locations is that effort by california to support our federal partners and their operation to protect the Health Care Delivery system and ensure that our fellow americans are cared for in a way that is safe where they can have their medical needs max.

There are some things that you can do that the public can do. And first and foremost i would say take care of one another and when youre asking how can i help or who can i help i would say look around you and identify if there may be some people who are more vulnerable. If they should get this fire is to have getting severely ill and for those people who may make a decision to stay in their homes or take other measures to protect their health are there things that you can do as a community to support them what we do know about this virus even though its a new virus and were learning more every day as we know that there are certain groups when they get infected. That may be at a higher risk of getting more. These are older individuals, those to have an underlying heart condition or lung condition. Those that have diabetes or other Health Conditions that could mean that they have a more severe illness and so our job right now is Public Health is to lean forward be prepared to meet this moment as a state to support our federal partners in this operation and take care of each other and do what we can to be prepared.
