Shafaq News / U.S. President Donald Trump said that it is likely that the outbreak of Corona virus (Covid-19) may later return to the United States, but considered that this potential new wave will be stopped in a rapid manner.
This came in statements made by the U.S. President during his daily press conference from the White House regarding the latest developments in Corona virus outbreak in the country.
Trump said in his remarks "It is possible that we would face a return of some elements of Corona virus, but it will be stopped. This will not be similar to the current situation in any way."
He explained that the United States has a better containment policy for Corona virus, noting that his administration has a "way" to stop the pandemic upon its return in the future.
Trump considered that more states in the country would soon be able to gradually reopen their economies, encouraging rulers to do so in stages, but he added that they would do better.
The U.S. President also stated that "the progress made in fighting virus will help us to reopen the country, and we will be able to send respirators to all countries of the world."
During the conference, Trump asked the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield, to make his press statement that the second wave of the virus would be worse than the current outbreak if it occurred.
"I think it is important to stress what I did not say," Redfield said. "I did not confirm that this (second wave) would be the worst. I said the situation will be more difficult and perhaps more complicated because we will face an exchange of roles between influenza and Corona virus simultaneously next year."
