My fellow Americans, tonight I want to speak with you about our nation’s unprecedented to the coronavirus outbreak that started in China and is now spreading throughout the world. Today the officially announced that this is a global pandemic. We have been in frequent contact with our and we are marshaling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the American people.
These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings and these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom.
At the same time, we’re monitoring the situation in China and South Korea and as their situation improves, we will re-evaluate the restrictions and warnings that are currently in place for a possible early opening.
Earlier this week I met with the leaders of industry who have agreed to all co-payments for coronavirus treatments, extend insurance coverage to these treatments, and to prevent surprise medical billing. We are cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapy available in record time. These treatments will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus.
The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low. Young and healthy people can expect to recover fully and quickly if they should get the virus. The highest risk is for elderly population with underlying health conditions. The elderly population must be very, very careful. In particular, we’re strongly advising that nursing homes for the elderly suspend all medically unnecessary visits. In general, older Americans should avoid nonessential travel in crowded areas.
My administration is coordinated directly with communities with largest outbreaks and we have issued guidance on school closures, social distancing, and reducing large gatherings. Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow. Every community faces different risks and it is critical for you to follow the guidelines of your local officials who are working closely with our federal health experts and they are the best.
For all Americans it is essential that everyone take extra precautions and practice good hygiene. Each of us has a role to play in defeating this virus. Wash your hands, clean often-used surfaces, cover your face and mouth if you or , and most of all, if you are sick or not feeling well, stay home.
However, to provide extra support for American workers, families, and businesses, tonight I am announcing the following additional actions. I am instructing the Small Business Administration to exercise available authority to provide capital and liquidity to firms affected by the coronavirus. Effective immediately the SBA will begin providing economic loans in affected states and territories. These low-interest will help small businesses overcome temporary economic disruptions caused by the virus.
Finally, I am calling on Congress to provide Americans with immediate payroll tax relief. Hopefully they will consider this very strongly. We are at a critical time in the fight against the virus. We made a life-saving move with early action on China. Now we must take the same action with Europe. We will not delay. I will never hesitate to take any necessary steps to protect the lives, health, and safety of the American people. I will always put the well-being of America first.
If we are vigilant, and we can reduce the chance of infection, which we will, we will significantly impede the transmission of the virus. The virus will not have a chance against us. No nation is more prepared or more resilient than the United States. We have the best economy, the most advanced health care, and the most talented doctors, scientists, and researchers anywhere in the world. We are all in this together. We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship, and unify together as one nation and one family.
As history has proven time and time again, Americans always rise to the challenge and overcome adversity. Our future remains brighter than anyone could imagine. Acting with compassion and love, we will heal the sick, care for those in need, help our fellow citizens, and emerge from this challenge stronger and more unified than ever before. God bless you, and God bless America. Thank you.

- Response - Pode ser traduzido como resposta, porém aqui ela tem o sentido de reação a algo que aconteceu.
- World Health Organization - Organização Mundial da Saúde. Em várias publicações também vemos a sigla WHO que não tem nava a ver com o pronome, inclusive deve ser pronunciada letra por letra W H O.
- Allies - Aliados/Aliadas. Aqui chamo a atenção para a pronúncia ally /ˈælaɪ/ e no plural, allies /ˈælaɪs/
- Threat - Ameaça. Atenção para a pronúncia do th /θret/
- Ultimately - Em última análise, no final das contas. Observe com atenção a pronúncia do "tely" /ˈʌltɪmətli/
- Defeat - Parece com o nosso defender, porém a tradução é derrotar, combater.
- Unforeseen - é algo imprevisto. Uma nota importante é que os prefixos são utilizados para mudar o sentido da palavra, só como exemplo a seguinte lista é utilizada para negação: un-, in-, um-, il-, dis-, ir-.
