For the deadly coronavirus. That test negative. A relief. Weve only just learned this afternoon that the president was even tested. He told reporters at a White House Press briefing trump had short but nonetheless significant contact with at least two people know who this week were confirmed to be infected with the virus. The official word coming from the president s personal physician when we go live to the white house in a moment. We want to update you on the numbers. Take a look. Nearly 2,800 people in the United States not as fortunate as the president tonight. That is the current and quickly rising number of people who have tested positive for coronavirus. 57 people so far are dead. This just in to cnn the leaders of teaneck, new jersey, asking everyone in the township, everyone, to selfquarantine. 25 people are infected in burgeon county where teaneck is located. That number more than doubled overnight. This Public Health emergency prompting the governor of georgia to actiontive activate troops. They will help quarantine in homes and bring medical equipment where its needed, as well. Also the georgia president ial primary put on hold for at least two months. Election Officials Say its to ensure the safety of voters and people who work at the polls. Overseas right now, there are some surreal images of nobody, nobody visiting the tourist sites of rome, no one in the streets and restaurants of madrid. Cafes and nightclubs in paris are also closed. France, spain, and italy in total lockdown. People ordered to stay home except when absolutely necessary. Lets get over to the white house right now. Cnns Kristen Holmes is there with the news that President Trump fortunately has tested negative for the coronavirus. What are you learning . Reporter well, thats right. You know, you mentioned this, that we had no idea President Trump was taking the test. Wed asked multiple times if he would because of this extended contact with not only people who later tested positive for coronavirus but with lawmakers who also had extended contact with people who then later tested positive for coronavirus and were blown off by the president multiple times asking this question. He said he didnt need to, he didnt have any symptoms. Now yesterday, he kind of waffled, he went back and said he would probably take the test. But there was still no real clear indication. Well, today he said he took the test. This is the note that we just received, just a little bit ago from the white house doctor. It says essentially last night after an indepth discussion with the president regarding covid19 testing, he elected to proceed. This evening, i received confirmation that the test is negative. And you have to remember this is coming at a time when there were serious questions as to whether or not the president was taking this virus seriously and whether or not there were proper safety protocols in place to protect the president and the Vice President. Remember, weve asked President Trump on multiple occasions, are you going to stop having those rallies, he said no. Of course, they have since canceled them. We asked if he was going to change any of his own habits, was he going to stop shaking hands. He said, no, thats just part of his daily life. We saw him yesterday on national tv shaking almost every Health Officials hand, despite the fact that the same officials were the ones saying do not shake hands, practice social distancing. But President Trump here clearly turning over a new page. Seems to be taking very seriously. Want you to hear what he said now about shaking hands and talking and being close to people. People come up to me, they shake hands, they put their hand out. Its sort of a natural reflex. Were all getting out of it. All of us have that problem. Somebody comes up to you, they put their hand out, you probably tend to shake it. And were all getting out of that. Shaking hands is not a great thing to be doing right now, i agree. But people put their hand out, sometimes ill put the hand out. You dont think about it. People are thinking about it more and more. We have to think about it. Its important. No, we all have to get away getting away from shaking hands is a good thing. Reporter and you know, it wasnt just the shaking hands that he talked about, actually all the members of the press corps, everyone had their temperature taken before we had any proximity to the president or Vice President. One reporter was turned away because his temperature was too high. Theyre upping the ante, putting into practice new protocols to keep President Trump safe. Kristen holmes from the white house. Thanks for that. Stay home, and dont leave unless its absolutely necessary. Thats the order from spanish and french officials as both countries work fast to contain the explosive coronavirus outbreak. In france almost everything is closed including the eiffel tower, restaurants, cafes, cinemas and clubs. Only essential places are open like supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations, and banks. In spain, the number of coronavirus cases jumped by 1,500 overnight. It brings the total number of people confirmed with the illness there to over 6,000. You can only imagine how hard doctors, nurses, and hospitals have been working to keep up with that load. Today in honor of them, a rare and powerful ovation to thank and support them. Watch this. [ applause ] [ cheers ] people across spain taking to their windows to cheer on those who are putting everything on the line to protect others. Joining us now from madrid is al goodman. Al, people in spain are banned from leaving their houses with very few exceptions. How is that being received on the ground . How are people responding to that . Reporter hi, boris. Lets start with the very latest in spain. The wife of spains Prime Minister has tested positive for coronavirus. This coming just a few hours after the Prime Minister himself made a nationwide address to explain the details of this state of emergencies thats been imposed by the government on this nation. We were out in the streets earlier this day, heres a look at what people had to say this is what spains coronavirus state of emergency looks like in madrid. A city of 6. 6 Million People told to stay home. Like the whole nation. With the restrictions, the capital is like a ghost town. This gourmet food market which would normally be packed is closed like all the other bars and restaurants in town. It does make it easy to get one of these tourist tuck tucks. Spain has the second highest number under italy. The Prime Minister wants to slow down the pace of new infections that Officials Say could overwhelm hospitals. Under the state of emergency starting late saturday, the government banned people from leaving their homes except for a few essential activities. They can still go to food stores and pharmacies, but they have to go alone. People can go to work, but driving must be only for essential activities, not for leisure. This man out shopping for food is a medical doctor and a cancer specialist. I am reasonably concerned, he says, but also reasonably optimistic that this situation could be controlled more quickly than whats being predicted. This butcher says clients are buying extra meat just in case, and there are still supplies for now. As quickly as we open, we might have to close, he says. The government says it will get worse. Many people dont know how this will play out. This couple just arrived from britain for a Birthday Celebration weekend. Now theyre out searching for food. I think the virus is spread i ing, and all cities are going to be getting worse maybe on lockdown sooner than we think. I think it will be the same all over europe very quickly. Reporter but the spanish Prime Minister says not so fast. It will take weeks he says, but spaniards working together will stop the virus. The Prime Minister addressing the nation on friday about this, boris, said that the number of cases could rise to over 10,000 just in the coming week. Back to you. Al goodman reporting from madrid, thank you so much. We have experts to chat with. Former assistant secretary at the department of Homeland Security juliette kayem, and dr. Annie moin, an Infectious Disease expert and hunter. We got an update a moment ago. It is now 58 dead, 2,816 cases in the United States. Its likely much more than that. But theres been a lack of testing so that number no question is going to continue to rise. Doctor, i want to begin with you. Youve seen the scenes in paris, in madrid. Is it time for the United States to approach a similar lockdown as a more serious option to consider . I think that we all have to take this very, very seriously. And if the American People arent going to take it seriously, then we have to be helping them to move toward this very, very serious social distancing. People need to really stay at home, stay in small stay away from large groups. To avoid being in places where virus can spread. Unfortunately what weve seen is large play dates, lots of people going out to restaurants, lots of people out in bars. These are all of the scenarios that we want to try to avoid. People really need to take responsibility if they can, stay home. Thats for the common good. Its good for everybody. And we have to not just think about ourselves. And i think that this is one of the issues that we really are are having trouble communicating which is its true that children, young adults may not have the same kind of serious outcomes as we are worried about for older people. But there are still able to pass the virus. And in fact many of the young people in their 20s and 30s do have serious disease. So this isnt something to take lightly. Everybody needs to take it seriously. Juliette, we keep talking about where other countries are heading quickly with near or total lockdowns. I have a hard time imagining that Something Like that could be installed in the United States. How do you even enforce people staying in their homes but anything for essential travel . I mean, you have mechanisms of the state to do so. We dont want to get there certainly. You obviously have Law Enforcement mechanisms. I think the way to conceive of it in the United States is there will be broad shutdowns, so you know, airport travel, anything thats regulated by the federal government, say rail travel, even interstate highways if it comes to that. I dont think it will come to that, but those are the options we played through in the past. Then what you might see is very localized, the equivalents of a quarantine or a lockdown under either local rules or generally state rules. Its governors have tremendous powers when it comes this. So its just important to you know, they have an authority to either isolate an area or contain it. We dont want to get to that station. As the doctor was saying, i dont get whats going on. I get these texts from my girlfriends like were having a play date. I dont know what else to say but even from the Homeland Security perspective, you know, were in for the long haul. You are home. Thats what it means. Except for limited, limited engagements or walks or whatever else. Yeah. And juliette, staying with you, we saw georgia authorize the callup of as many as 2,000 National Guard troops yes to help some of those aboard the diamond princess cruise ship. Its not lost on anybody that those troops, those guard members and ones in other states could soon be asked to help keep the peace elsewhere. Thats right. To be clear, theyre not being asked to keep the peace. Theres a complicated series of laws. They are serving under the governor as the state under the state guard. Weve had plans for this. People should not be get too anxious. Whenever state capacity gets limited and sort of everyone sort of stretched, you want the guard to serve and support in things like traffic control, crowd control, supply chain. Thats the state side. The federal government has a large military, as well, which also has worked with civilian authorities to provide assets and manpower, womanpower to be able to do things liking what if we need tent hospitals, what if we need Triage Centers that need to be built very quickly. So i think people just need its different. I recognize that. But this is stuff thats been practiced and trained, pursuant to the laws that protect us and protect our rights. So its its different, but its actually something that we envisioned because we knew in a pandemic state and locals would be overwhelmed relatively quickly as were seeing. Yeah. As were seeing just a few miles from here in new rochelle. Doctor, President Trump is expanding the Coronavirus Travel ban. It starts on monday night. You cant fly here from the United Kingdom or ireland unless youre an american. But germs, they dont really know any boundary or citizenship. Is this too little too late . The virus is already here. So how does this make us safer . Well, the cat is out of the bag, genies out of the bottle. Here we are. We have the virus spreading in this country now. A travel ban is really not going to be all that effective at this point. Its like having a strainer. You know, it might take out the larger chunks, but youre not going to be getting any of the finer pieces. And truly at this point, i think we need to be focusing on things like social distancing, making sure that the people who are here or coming here that are staying in away from small groups, no large gatherings, all the things we keep saying. I think the travel ban is a little too little, too late at this point. Juliette, we keep going back to rudy gobert. This nba player, he tested positive for coronavirus. Within a few hours, the entire nba season was suspended. Im wondering from you, what if a Police Officer tests positive in major city and an entire department is then forced into quarantine . Who is then in charge of protecting people . So this is once again, its no solace but the potential loss of a work force in terms of Public Safety and Public Health has been envisioned. Obviously we want to protect our First Responders. The idea that it might all hands on deck in either Public Health or Public Safety i think is not true. Some of them in particular will get sick, as we know. Many of them have kids, and if the kids are home also weve seen in the past in other disasters some of them wont show up. Its a small percentage. And so what we see going on now i think is a very, very serious especially Police Departments focus on two things on sort of work force health, making sure people are healthy and that they are taking their temperatures. And secondly, and this goes back to us dont bother them right now. In other words, another point of social distancing is take the burden off of Public Safety and Public Health, dont get in your car, dont get on a bike, dont do all the things that often cause First Responders to have to respond. And let them focus for a couple of weeks. I mean, this is why it was important to cancel these big, you know, like the marathon here or a concert. Those are big burdens on Public Safety and Public Health, as well. So we have it in us to also make sure that theyre ready to protect us and sort of just stay put. Yeah. Still plenty more questions to answer. Unfortunately, thats all we have time for. Juliette, doctor, thank you so much. We appreciate it. Have a good saturday night. Thank you. Of course. Coming up, Washington State reporting three new deaths along with more than 600 total cases. Well take a closer look at the nursing home now at the center of the outbreak there.
