National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow tried on Tuesday to assuage concerns over the cornavirus and its impact on the U.S. economy.

"We have contained this. I won't say [it's] airtight, but it's pretty close to airtight," Kudlow told CNBC's Kelly Evans on "The Exchange." He added that, while the outbreak is a "human tragedy," it will likely not be an "economic tragedy."

"There will be some stumbles. We're looking at numbers; it's a little iffy," Kudlow said. "But at the moment ... there's no supply disruptions out there yet."
