Trump said the virus is “very well under control” in the U.S. and claimed credit for preventing the spread of the disease.

“Because of an early decision I made,
I made a decision,” Trump said.

“I believe it was the first time it’s ever been done. We closed the country to certain areas (of the world), as you know. And I was criticized for that decision. Now they’re saying it was a good decision.”

He also said that most of the Americans known to have been infected with the virus have recovered or are on their way to recovery. “We are down to -- we’re really down to probably 10,” Trump said. “Most of the people are outside of danger right now.”

“There’s a very good chance you’re not going to die,” from a coronavirus infection, Trump said.
