WASHINGTON – Vice President Mike Pence and the Coronavirus Task Force will provide an update Monday on COVID-19 from the White House.
The press conference has been pushed back, and is now scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m.
COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new virus, stands for coronavirus disease 2019. The disease first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, but spread around the world in early 2020, causing the World Health Organization to declare a pandemic in March.
