United States President Donald Trump claimed on Saturday his administration has taken "the most aggressive actions in modern history to confront the coronavirus."

Commenting on the first COVID-19 death in the country, the president stated the person that died, mistakenly saying it was a woman in her 50s while officials said it was a man, was a "medically high-risk patient." He said 22 more patients are infected by the coronavirus, with four being "very ill."

Trump called on the media, politicians, "anybody, not to incite the panic."
