U.S. President Donald Trump briefs the public on the government's efforts to fight the coronavirus. Vice President Mike Pence also takes part in the briefing along with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials.

"Because of all we've done, the risk to the American people remains very low," Trump said, adding that Vice President Mike Pence will lead the team that's working on the coronavirus efforts.

As of Thursday, the U.S. has over 50 confirmed cases. The principal deputy director of the CDC said the future of the COVID-19 in America is uncertain, but assured the public that further steps have been taken to prepare for such outbreaks.
