Good evening and its great to have you with us here to start a new week. And we begin tonight with fastmoving developments involving the coronavirus here in the u. S. Tonight, the virus has now taken at least six lives here in the u. S. And there are at least 100 confirmed cases. The toll growing, and with testing, they are expecting that number to rise. On friday here, those cases diagnosed in nine states, from california to massachusetts. And tonight, take a look. At least four more states, including new york and florida. More than a dozen states now. And those six deaths attributed to the virus, four of them at a nursing care facility in kirkland, washington. Schools closed in several locations. This one in pawtucket, rhode island. And the first case now in new york city. What weve learned about her. And the governor today saying they hope to be able to test 1,000 people a day. Dr. Jen ashton standing by to answer your questions tonight. Has the virus been circulating in some u. S. Communities for weeks now . We begin tonight in Washington State, the center of a lot of concern. Abcs Kaylee Hartung in kirkland, washington, tonight. Reporter tonight, a growing emergency outside seattle.

Reporter four of those victims lived at this nursing care facility, now the center of this outbreak. Colleen mallorys 89yearold mother peggy, who suffers from dementia, is a resident. You know, if she gets sick, shes going to be gone. Reporter colleen got to see her mom today, but fears shes been exposed to the virus. They wouldnt tell me anything about her roommate who has been removed from the facility and my moms been in the room with her for all this time. Reporter new Research Suggests the virus has been quietly spreading here for weeks, often by people without symptoms. Across the country, the number of cases climbing, to at least 100 across 13 states. Today, Travis Air Force base in california releasing about 140 passengers from the diamond princess cruise ship after weeks in quarantine. But the mayor of san antonio declaring a state of emergency, moving to block any evacuees quarantined at nearby Lackland Air Force base from entering the city. The mayor slamming the cdc for releasing a woman hours before a final test for the virus came back positive. I find it totally unacceptable that cdc would release a patient prior to receiving all test results and potentially exposing the public to this harm. We simply cannot have a screwup like this from our federal partners. Reporter that infected person visited a hotel, a mall and a food court before being put into isolation. New york state hopes to be able to test up to 1,000 people a day, after announcing its first case in manhattan. A 39yearold Health Care Worker is now selfquarantining at her home with her husband. Officials are reaching out to fellow passengers on her flight and her livery cab driver. There is no doubt that there will be more cases where we find people who test positive. We said early on, it wasnt a question of if but when. This is new york. Were a gateway reporter th disinfecting more schools and buses and subways. In rhode island, this high school is closed and 38 people under quarantine after a student and faculty member tested positive for the virus following a school trip to italy. And as the virus spreads, americans from coast to coast taking no chances. Braving long lines to stock up on supplies. Finding some shelves bare. And kaylee is with us from outside that nursing care center. And Health Officials there in washington, i know, are repairing for the situation to get much worse, even planning to set up special isolation units . How will this work . Reporter david, today, we learned that officials are in the process of buying a motel and bringing in modular housing units, all to put people in who need to be in isolation. We already know of dozens of First Responders and Health Care Workers who are quarantined tonight. Many of them because they were exposed to the virus here at this nursing home. Washington state is bracing for this virus to continue to spread. David . One of the first u. S. Communities to be tested like this. Kaylee hartung tonight. Kaylee, thank you. Meantime, the white house issuing new travel alerts this evening after earlier advisories about travel to china, now urging americans not to visit parts of italy, as well. But what about travelers and College Students coming home to the u. S. . Are they being tested when they get here . Are they being screened before they even leave . What we learned today. And heres abcs maggie rulli tonight. Reporter tonight, some of italys most famous tourist sites, from milan to rome, deserted. The number of coronavirus cases there spiking 120 in the last 48 hours, to more than 1,800 cases. Delta and American Airlines now suspending all flights to milan. This as the u. S. State department issuing its highest travel warning for parts of italy and south korea. We want to lower the amount of travel to and from the most impacted areas. This is a basic containment strategy. Reporter american College Students sent home from their studies in italy reuniting with their families. Syracuse University StudentEli Schwemler was forced to return from florence. When arriving in america last friday, he says there was no screening. I was not stopped or tested for a fever or anything, which kind of surprised me. I figured theyd at least take my temperature. But none of that happened. Reporter tonight, fears rippling across the globe. In paris, the louvre shuttering for a second day. Museum workers concerned about exposure. In japan, a marathon that normally has about 30,000 runners reduced to a few hundred elite competitors. 12 Million Students shut out of school today. A church in rome closed after a priest was infected. At his first public appearance in days, the pope struggling with a cough, addressing the crowd, admitting he has a cold. Hes canceled his next public event, although there is no connection to the virus. So, lets get to maggie rulli reporting in from london tonight. And maggie, the student there who came in from florence said he was not screened when he arrived back here in the u. S. A short time ago, Vice President mike pence was asked about screening people coming from italy and youve got news on that tonight . Reporter yeah, david. Just moments ago, the Vice President said that within the next 12 hours, people leaving italy will be screened in italy before theyre allowed to come back into the united states. He said their temperatures will be taken multiple times. But david, its still not known whats going to happen to these americans once they come back to the united states, considering that syracuse University Student says he was never tested once he got back into the country. David . All right, maggie rulli tonight. Maggie, thank you. We know so many of you at home have questions, among them, word that authorities in Washington State believe this coronavirus has been spreading there for weeks. And so, lets get right to our chief medical editor, dr. Jen ashton, back with us tonight. That really got our attention today, jen. And we were sort of curious, do you think were going to learn in the coming days that we have communities around the country where coronavirus has been present for weeks now . Reporter i dont think that would be surprising, david. We have to remember, were pretty much two months into this. And because so many cases are mild, it may just be that people arent sick enough on the most part to seek medical attention. Which would be a Silver Lining in this, if we find out there have been many cases, we just have not been aware of them. Reporter it would be reassuring, yes. There was the e. R. Doctor from new york city who went on cable news this morning and got a lot of attention, because he said if someone presents with flulike symptoms or severe respiratory symptoms, he still does not have a rapid diagnostic test kit for coronavirus. Weve been talking about this for many nights now. Is that not alarming . Reporter i think it reflects the frustration among Health Care Providers who are trying to test people for this. But some good news, we just learned that even right here in new york city, tests are now being deployed and so, hopefully that will continue rapidly across the country. Ripple effect in e. R. S across the country. In the meantime, one of the things that i think will reassure folks at home is that we continue to see that children tend to be faring quite well. Reporter yeah, from the case reports, david, on this, children under the age of 9 represent just about 1 of coronavirus cases. There have been, thankfully, no pediatric death and its not known whether children are resistant to this virus or they actually become infected and just dont develop symptoms. But either way, that is good news. All right, dr. Jen ashton with us on this monday night. Jen, thank you. President trump today addressing the coronavirus threat and the idea of a vaccine. Several countries working hard, but how soon . Lets go to the white house and Senior National correspondent terry moran. Terry, a vaccine still likely a year away, but the president saying today theres progress being made. Lets listen. Were working hard to expedite the longer process of developing a vaccine. Were also moving with maximum speed to develop therapies so that we can help people recover as quickly as possible, we have a lot of recovery going on. The president on the coronavirus today. And terry, weve seen an evolution of sorts from the president , from friday nights rally through saturday and then to today. A very serious tone on coronavirus. Reporter we sure have seen that change in tone, david. Last week, as it was clear that this correspondent was arriving in the united states, the president went to his tried and tested playbook. He downplayed the threat. He sweettalked the markets. He excoriated democrats and the media at that rally and in mean tweets for exploiting it as the latest hoax, in his words. Different president today, as we just heard. And a very different white house. This is a place which hasnt seen regular press briefings in years and yet Vice President mike pence, who is the head of the Coronavirus Task force, promised that he would have regular briefings here and he is letting the Public Health experts step forward. One sign of that, when asked a question, he said, i think ill let the experts answer that question. David . Terry moran live at the white house tonight. Terry, thank you. And we took note of a big rebound in the Financial Markets today after last week. Of course, the worst week since the financial crisis in 2008. Today, the dow gaining nearly 1,300 points.

And now to the race for 2020 tonight. Super tuesday tomorrow. 15 contests across 14 states and one territory. There is major news tonight. Two candidates on the democratic side dropping out. And theyre about to endorse joe biden tonight. Pete buttigieg bowing out yesterday. Today, Amy Klobuchar doing the same. Both of them now racing to texas tonight to endorse biden, fresh off that blowout win in the South Carolina primary. Bernie sanders, meanwhile, today saying the establishment is worried. Abcs eva pilgrim oneonone with joe biden tonight, and she asks him, if this comes down to a twoman race against sanders, can he beat him . Reporter tonight, a major shakeup on the eve of super tuesday. Pete buttigieg and now Amy Klobuchar both dropping out and heading to dallas to endorse joe biden. You know, just a few days ago, the pundits declared my campaign dead. But then along came South Carolina. Reporter the former Vice President s landslide win reshaping the race. Buttigieg ending his campaign the next day. I will no longer seek to be the 2020 democratic nominee for president. Reporter hes been blunt.

But sanders today undaunted by the growing moderate opposition. There is a massive effort trying to stop Bernie Sanders. The political establishment is coming together and they will do everything. They are really getting nervous that working people are standing up. Reporter the vermont senator drawing the biggest crowds of anyone in the race. Overnight, 15,000 people rallying in california. The candidate who wins in california has an excellent chance to win the democratic nomination. Reporter Mike Bloomberg also pumping millions into california, and today, making it clear that unlike buttigieg and klobuchar, hes not going anywhere. I felt sorry for them, but im in it to win it. And we are going to go out and were going to go get them. Reporter but biden confident that at the end of the day, hell be the one squaring off against Bernie Sanders. Do you think, if it comes down to you and Bernie Sanders, you can beat Bernie Sanders . Yes. There you have it. Eva pilgrim with joe biden today. Shes live from outside dallas tonight. And eva, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar heading there tonight to stand with joe biden. Hes going to go allout try to keep his momentum. And boy, hes getting help from two pow erhouse competitors he was just facing off against on the debate stage. Reporter yeah, david. Joe biden knows hes being outspent and outorganized in a lot of these super tuesday states. But he got that big boost coming off of South Carolina. Biden told me he doesnt have to win tomorrow, but he does need to stay within striking distance going into next week. States he thinks play more to his strengths. David .
