‘Yesterday, both the House and the Senate were briefed by top intelligence community officials on the state of ongoing efforts to protect the security of American elections.

'President Trump visited the Capitol to discuss the ongoing efforts to fight the new coronavirus and its growing footprint here in the United States… Congress has already provided billions in new funding to federal, state, and local health leaders.

‘Yesterday evening, the President, the Vice President, and their task force offered an extensive public briefing on ongoing efforts to combat this new virus which has spread from China throughout the world. As the director of the CDC explained, officials are now tracking more than 500 cases across the country. Nationwide, the risk to any individual American remains low. But as the Vice President and the experts reminded us, the time is now for all Americans to engage in basic common-sense measures, and for Americans at heightened risk to take additional precautions.’
