The White House has cancelled President Trumps visit to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak in the US. The president is still scheduled to attend an election rally in Nashville.

With increasing reported cases in the US, including New York, Washington, and Maryland, there is concern the Trump Administration has downplayed the threat of COVID-19.
