This behavior i would like to say this evening. Im saying to you with a muckraker. No one including young people are protected and youre not protecting other people even if you do not show any symptoms you can transmit the virus even if you you risk contaminating your friends your parents your grandparents and. Those who are close to you dont only would have gone on in and. Out carriers of the fighting to save lives with diversion with strength at a time when the Health Situation is deteriorating when the pressure on the hospital hospitals is not and is getting worse all our strength all our energy must be focused on one single objective to slow down the propagation of the virus which i repeat to you i see playing these letters i respect the Health Guidelines it is the only way to protect Vulnerable People i think to have fewer people who are infected and reduce the pressure. On the Hospital Services so they can better look of to people in your. Group that i dont. Want to look in yes it is serious only Contact Emergency Services in case of emergency otherwise they will not be able to deal with urgent cases and certainly regions letters show. Of solidarity and a sense of responsibility and each one of us who can must at all costs and it limits the people they are in contact with each day scientific standard Scientists Say that that is the absolute priority and that is why after having consulted having listened to the experts in the field.

Family meetings are not allowed. And see friends in the street with will no longer be possible it isnt a question of restricting to the very minimum any contact outside the home everywhere throughout territory overseas or in the country only necessary nice to do some shopping with autism playing on it respecting a distance of one meter long kissing not shaking hands urgent journeys for Health Reasons other. Urgent work. Remote working is not possible and also to have a little bit a little bit of physical activity but not to meet up with friends all Companies Must open eyes themselves to facilitate. Working and when that is not possible they must have thought as of tomorrow an organization to respect these barriers against the virus to protect their employees or freelance people to protect.

Of the National Assembly but also. My predecessors have decided that its on the 2nd round of the local elections will be the latest on the Prime Minister today in form not being open on the parties who are represented in parliament is decision it and what was the.

Really had a good meeting and it was a very very productive meeting i also spoke with our nations governors in the septa noon were announcing new guidelines for every american to follow over the next 15 days as we combat the virus each and every one of us says a Critical Role to play in stopping the spread in transmission of the virus week we did this today and this was done by a lot of very talented people some of whom are standing with me. And thats available. And dr brooks will be speaking about that in just a few minutes its important for the young and Healthy People to understand that while they may experience mild or sinners symptoms they can easily spread this virus and they will spread it indeed putting countless others in harms way we specially worry about our Senior Citizens the White House Task force meets every day and continually updates guidelines based on the festive alving situation that this has become all over the world all d over the world its incredible whats happened in such a short period of time on the guidelines of the task force the new modeling conducted by dr burkes and our consultation with governors weve made the decision to further toughen the guidelines and blunt the infection now. Wed much rather be ahead of the curve than behind it and thats what we are there for my administration is recommending that all americans including the young and healthy work to engage in schooling from home when possible avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people avoid discretionary travel and avoid eating it drink in bars restaurants and public food courts if everyone makes this. Change or these critical changes and sacrifices now we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus and were going to.

Thank you mr president i think you know over the last months weve taken very bold action to stop the virus from coming to our shores and because of that we gain time to really get together and understand the progress across the globe of what has worked and what hasnt worked. We now need to appeal to every single american so that they had to have their role in stopping the spread of this virus. Weve talked about things before about washing your hands but we really want to focus on if you are sick. No matter who you are please stay home if someone in your household is diagnosed with this virus the entire household should quire and teen in the house to prevent the spread of the virus to others the reason were taking these strong and bold stabs his because we know there is virus spread before you develop symptoms and then we know that there is a large group we dont know the precise percent yet that actually is asymptomatic or has such mild cases that they continue to spread the virus if your children are sick please keep of home. Now to our older population or those with preexisting medical conditions everyone in the household needs to focus on protecting them everyone in the household i want to speak particularly to our largest generation now our millennium goals i have the mom of 2 wonderful millennial young women who are bright and hardworking and i will tell you what i told to them they are the core group that will stop this virus theyr
