Ron DeSantis ordered all bars and restaurants in the state to close.Kimberly Benza, a spokeswoman for the Trump Organization, said,"Various facilities are temporarily closed given local, state and federal mandates."
But on Friday, Trump appeared to take the prospect of that happening even further, telling a reporter who asked if automakers were refitting plants to make ventilators,"I can't say they are but they will be.""Discussions and studies are taking place on how GM could support production of medical equipment like ventilators. We will provide additional information as it becomes available," he said.
The move comes as senators continue to negotiate the details of the measure, with lawmakers huddling in groups to hammer out key details that will need to pass in the Republican-controlled Senate and Democratic-controlled House. “All of the justices are healthy,” Arberg said in a statement issued by the court. “Like all of us, the justices are following public health guidance. The justices are temporarily foregoing their traditional handshake.”
“I get the same calls that many of you get," Fauci told reporters."That someone goes into a place who has a system and wants a test and for one reason or other ... they can’t get it." On Monday, Trump touted two drugs he said show"really good promise" to fight coronavirus and are soon available for"delivery" – the Food and Drug Administration later had to clarify that the drugs have not been approved, though testing of them is being expedited."Let's see what happens; we have nothing to lose," Trump said.

Trump also said that Mexico is also suspending air travel from Europe.

He said he didn't want to name the companies but then said he asked General Motors to produce equipment for the government. The automaker was reportedly exploring converting its manufacturing plants to produce ventilators.President Donald Trump said that the Department of Education would no longer enforce standardized testing requirements for students in elementary through high school for the current school year.

Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters outside the meeting that he and other senators"need to work together to get something big and bold that helps the American people." But, he added, there are issues with the proposal offered by McConnell.
In a statement released Thursday night, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said they were reviewing the proposal but"on first reading, it is not at all pro-worker and instead puts corporations way ahead of workers."
