In order to successfully recover and prevent the spread of the coronavirus, a person must be tested to confirm or reveal if they are positive or not. President Donald Trump recently revealed that he tested negative for COVID-19 after coming into contact with a Brazilian official that later tested positive.
The Guardian reports that during the lunchtime briefing at the White House, Trump revealed that after being in contact with a Brazilian government official who later tested positive for COVID-19, he was also tested. White House physician Sean Conley announced that Trump tested negative for the virus, a week following his meeting with the said government official at the Mar-a-Lago resort. This follows Conley’s statement that there was no necessity for Trump to be placed under quarantine as the contact with the Brazilian aide was “low-risk.”
Trump has also made an extension to the European travel ban which involved restricting travel to 26 countries in the Schengen Area, excluding the United Kingdom and Ireland. Now he has added the two nations onto the list, as vice president Mike Pence announced. Due to the increase in cases of the coronavirus in the United States, Trump once again mentioned the possibility of domestic travel restrictions. “If you don’t have to travel, I wouldn’t do it,” said the President.
It was also in the briefing that Trump revealed that the House passed legislation for the long-awaited coronavirus response package in a majorly-bipartisan vote. The package involved paid sick leaves, unemployment insurance, free access to tests, and other measures to help Americans who are vulnerable to the virus.
Although the virus has hugely affected public health, it has also taken a toll on the country’s economy as well. Politico reports that the Federal Reserve is going to cut interest rates down to zero as well as purchasing billions worth of bonds as an effort to keep the country’s economy afloat. This came after Wall Street experienced a major low the previous week with stock points dropping drastically.
They continued to state that they will increase their holdings of government bonds by up to $500 billion as well as holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities by up to $200 billion in the coming months.
