Throughout the broadcast today, were going to share the newest numbers and critical information on the outbreak. And our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is monitoring it all for us. A lot of people are watching this. Tony, facts over fears. Right now there are more than 780 reported cases in the u. S. Thats about 200 more than yesterday. The virus is now linked to 26 deaths nationwide. Its also spread to two more states since yesterday. 36 states and the District Of Columbia are now reporting cases. The total number of patients around the globe has reached more than 115,000. Lets take you to china. President xi jinping visited wuhan, the epicenter of the virus. He went there for the First Time Since the outbreak began. And he declared the outbreak, quote, basically curbed. China recorded just 19 new cases overnight. Thats the lowest oneday total since it started counting. Back here in the u. S. , the cdc is releasing coronavirus test numbers. Less than 8500 tests have been done in labs since midjanuary. The Trump Administration has said there would be 4 million tests available by the end of this week. Vice president mike pence said last night that private companies, like quest and lab corp, have manufactured a test that is on the market today. I want to tell you the story of a new jersey man who is the first in that state to contract coronavirus. Hes 32 years old. Hes a physicians assistant. James cai. He thinks he caught the virus at a medical conference in times square last week. He said his symptoms were a cough and shortness of breath. He actually spoke to our new york station wcbs from his hospital bed. He said his condition deteriorated in just days. Despite previously being in pretty good health. So i went to the city md in new jersey, paramus, and they did an xray. They see nothing. This viral came up so quick. Not even one week, my lungs, its bilateral, on both sides. Before this, one side. People have to take coronavirus seriously. James says he initially went to the urgent care, then to the hospital from there where hes been ever since. We checked with his family this morning. The good news is, hes alive. Hes not doing any more interviews, but well follow his progress. Michelle . David, thank you. President trump spoke briefly to reporters yesterday, but did not answer questions. He plans to hold a News Conference later today. Five members of Congress Close to the president now say theyre in selfquarantine because they had contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. Paula reid is at the white house. Paula, does the president plan to get tested . Good morning. President trump traveled with one of those selfquarantined lawmakers just yesterday on air force one and another is his incoming chief of staff. But the white house says the president has not been tested because they say he has not come into contact with anyone who has tested positive and they say hes not exhibiting any symptoms. Its blindsided the world, and i think weve handled it very, very well. Reporter amid mounting criticism of his administrations resesponse to outbreak that has been moving across the globe for nearly three months, President Trump once again tried to reassure americans. We will be taking care of the American Public. Reporter the president previously said he thought the u. S. Economy was resilient enough to weather the fallout of coronavirus. But now, he says hes seeking a very substantial relief, including help for hourly wage earners and a possible payroll tax cut. Even a 1 percentage reduction in the payroll tax could cut up to 75 billion in revenue. In a sign of how quickly pressure is mounting we think we will get out of this within months. Reporter just this past friday, the president s top economic adviser larry kudlow had pushed against big stimulus packages. The administration is also considering relief for airlines and the cruise industry. But democrats say the white house should prioritize help for individuals before corporations. This is about the families. About putting families first. If your Childrens School is closed, who is going to take care of them at home . Reporter at least five members of congress have now selfquarantined after interacting last month with an individual at the conservative Political Action conference, or cpac, who later tested positive for coronavirus. They include the president s incoming chief of staff mark meadows, georgias doug collins, who shook President Trumps hand friday ahead of a visit to the cdc, and floridas matt gaetz who flew with the president on air force one just yesterday. Gaetz tweeted a photo of himself wearing a gas mask while signing the coronavirus funding bill. Its unclear just how much of an appetite republicans have for payroll tax cuts. That kind of relief is designed to put more money in workers pockets, but its unclear if that stimulus would work in a situation like this where many people are staying home and not spending too much money. Paula, thank you. Wall street is in turn around mode after a day of recordsetting losses with investors showing optimism about the Trump Administrations coronavirus proposals. Stocks opened sharply higher this morning. That after yesterday all three of the major indexes plunged more than 7 . Nikki battiste is outside the New York Stock Exchange for us. Good morning. Is this rally likely to hold . Good morning. Experts warn the odds of a recession have increased. The president s potential stimulus package has caused stocks to rise this morning after opening. It comes after yesterdays massive stock market slide where the dow suffered its worst losses since the financial crisis of 2008. Congress would have to approve any of the president s payroll tax proposals. Hes also discussing paying hourly employees for time missed due to the coronavirus. Crude Oil Prices Also rebounded after plunging to their lowest level since 1991. The drop came as russia feuds with saudi arabia or saudi oil production. This mornings initial gains are calming fears of a bear market today before closing. That happens when stocks drop more than 20 since their recent peak. The lastprolonged market happened in the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 when u. S. Stocks fell by more than half. Nikki, thank you. In our next hour, well talk to Jill Schlesinger about what to do with 401 k s and other investments during this market turbulence. The vatican closed st. Peters square and basilica to tourists. That follows italys move to put the entire country into lockdown. A desperate bid to stop the coronavirus from spreading further. Its the most severe restriction on movement in italy since world war ii. Charlie dagata is in rome. Charlie, whats it like there now . Good morning, anthony. Look at the piazza del popolo. Youve been here. The peoples square. Not today. The Prime Minister here has described the situation, quoting winston churchill, as italys darket hour. If anyone wants to see what a worst Case Scenario looks like, look no further than italy. It was the news a nation already on its knees was dreading. But as the crisis deepened, it felt inevitable. The announcement triggered a rash of panic buying here in rome as shoppers in masks swarmed supermarkets in fear of a countrywide lockdown. In a national address, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte spelled it out in the starkest terms. Weve run out of time. Were having a growth in infection and deaths. The whole of italy will become a protected zone. In essence, a quarantine of the entire country of 60 Million People until next month. Heres what life under lockdown means. Travel across italy severely restricted. All public gatherings of any kind strictly forbidden. Employees should work from home or prove to police why theyre not. Restaurants and shops will their doorersk. Thexton the shutdo schools andities acros the country. Violators risk up to three months in jail or fines of 225. The extreme measures after the number of cases jumped once again, now the most infections outside of china. More than 9,000 cases, 463 people have died. Officials in the hardest hit Northern Region say hospitals are on the verge of collapse. The last few days, been pretty confusing. Reporter we spoke with an 88yeefld with preexisting conditions who has been stuck inside his house since the original shutdown. Are you scared . Yes, i am scared. Who is not scared about dying . Everybodys scare about dying. Reporter now, if there is some good news to report, there are some reassuring signs that extreme measures like these are working. Across some of the northern zones where this quarantine has been in place for a couple of weeks, the numbers there are actually going down. Michelle . We hope those measures do work. Charlie dagata in rome, thank you. In california, Cruise Ship Passengers stranded by the coronavirus are being screened after their ship docked in oakland. About 1200 passengers, or roughly half of the 2400 passengers who were on board the grand princess still have not set foot on land. One couple has now filed a lawsuit arguing the cruise line put their health at risk. Carter evans is at the port in oakland. Carter, how long will it take to get those people off that ship . Well, because everyone has to be screened, it could take two to three days to complete the process. Now as you can imagine, passengers aboard the ship are pretty excited to leave this cruise, but their long journey home is just beginning. The first stop for passengers leaving the grand princess is this secure 11acre containment area. The most critically ill are loaded into ambulances. Most are taking buses or chaerted flights to u. S. Military bases with foreign nationals headed to the airport for flights out of the country. Any symptoms . No symptoms. Reporter passengers wearing protective masks were interviewed by crew members monday after they were allowed to leave their rooms for the first time in days. My gosh. I cant believe it. Reporter 19 crew members and two passengers on the cruise have tested positive for coronavirus. The ship has also been linked to 12 cases from a previous trip, including one death. My condition is not the best. I have a pacemaker, defibrillator. Reporter Ron Weissberger and his wife are suing the Parent Company saying the cruise continued to sail knowing that some passengers and crew had already been exposed to covid19. If we would have known, lets say, before we landed in the first port, we would have gotten off that ship and flown back home. Reporter despite the recent outbreaks at sea, at least six more cruise ships set sail monday but the 53 billion a year industry could be impacted by the state departments warning to americans not to take cruises. I want to let other passengers know what they are getting into once they sign up for a cruise. Reporter after everyones been screened, the entire site here is going to be pressure washed with a bleach solution to decontaminate it. As for the lawsuit, Princess Cruises says it doesnt respond to pending litigations. Instead, right now its focusing on the passengers and crew. Tony . Carter, thank you. Now to the other major story. A crucial day in the democratic primary. Voting is under way in michigan where joe biden and Bernie Sanders have been campaigning in recent days. Its one of six States Holding primaries or caucuses today. 352 delegates on the line. Washington, idaho, north dakota, missouri and mississippi are also heading to the polls. But michigan again is the days big prize. Two recent polls show that joe biden has a doubledigit lead there. Ed okeefe is in detroit for us. Good morning. Politics is usually about handshakes and kissing babies but the coronavirus is complicating that effort. How is it impacting the campaign . Good morning. Here in michigan, no reported cases of coronavirus. And state Officials Say they have no shortage of poll workers. But in hardhit Washington State where they vote by mail, state officials are being encouraged to open ballots today while wearing gloves. I am so proud to endorse joe biden to be the next president of the United States. Reporter with polls giving him a big lead in michigan, joe biden campaigned with prominent supporters, including michigan governor gretchen whitmer. It was a show among moderates in the party. Were going to unite democrats, republicans and independents of any stripe. Thats what the nation needs. Reporter Bernie Sanders won the michigan primary four years ago and needs to win again if he has any hope of catching biden in the delegate race. One of the differences between joe biden and myself is that joe bailed out the crooks on wall street who nearly destroyed our economy 12 years ago. Reporter as the coronavirus spreads nationwide and with both candidates in their 70s and attracting large crowds, california congresswoman Jackie Speier called on all candidates for president to stop Holding Public rallies and largescale events adding the candidates must lead by example. The biden team responded saying it would continue to closely follow guidance from health officials, but that it plans to continue running an Aggressive National campaign. In recent days, Hand Sanitizer has been front and center at biden and Sanders Campaign events. We do not hold a rally without first conferring with local Public Health officials. Reporter sanders did not say what if any precaution, hes specifically taking. Im surrounded by medical personnel. Thank you for asking. I am running for president of the United States. And that requires a whole lot of work. Reporter biden said last night in addition to following cdc guidelines, he will no longer shake hands along rope lines after his speeches. Now he and sanders wake up today here in michigan and make a few stops before spending most of the day in ohio. The Buckeye State is one of four holding primaries next week. All right, ed, thank you. The president suggested the coronavirus outbreak is minor compared to flu season. Is he right . Some answers ahead from dr. Jon lapoo. Good Tuesday Morning to.
