(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump considered a national stay-at-home order to combat the coronavirus, but said it's “pretty unlikely.”
“We've talked about it,” he said at a White House news conference on Monday. Some parts of the country “are frankly not in trouble at all,” the president said.
“If we do that, I will let you know, but it's pretty unlikely, I would think, at this time,” Trump said.
Governors Larry Hogan of Maryland and Ralph Northam of Virginia, together with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, announced stay-at-home orders on Monday. The orders allow people to leave their homes for limited reasons, such as to buy groceries, medicine or conduct essential business.
