Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney suggests people ignore coronavirus news to calm markets

White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Friday suggested that Americans should ignore media reports about the coronavirus amid fears of the deadly disease spreading into the U.S.

Mulvaney, who also heads the Office of Management and Budget, also said that there will "probably" be school closures and transportation issues due to the impact of the virus.

"Are you going to see some schools shut down? Probably. May you see impacts on public transportation? Sure," Mulvaney said as he attempted to assure his audience that the Trump administration was on top of the virus.

He was interviewed Friday morning by Stephen Moore, President Donald Trump's onetime nominee for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.
