President Donald Trump said Sunday that the White House has a “perfectly coordinated and fine-tuned plan” to stop the spread of novel coronavirus in the United States, where there were more than 900 confirmed cases as of Tuesday morning and 29 deaths.

But the Trump administration’s response to the outbreak has been criticized in recent weeks, especially after the president contradicted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in late February when he maintained the federal government had the coronavirus totally under control as the CDC warned American to “prepare in the expectation that this could be bad.”
