U.S. Response to Wuhan Coronavirus Grows, But No Emergency Declaration Yet

The Trump Administration has begun scrambling a response to the coronavirus outbreak that originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan—but has so far stopped short of declaring the situation a public health emergency.
"Americans should know that this is a potentially very serious public health threat, but, at this point, Americans should not worry for their own safety," Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said during a press conference on Tuesday.
