WASHINGTON, D.C.: Seeking to reassure the American public, President Donald Trump said Saturday there was 'no reason to panic' as the new coronavirus claimed its first victim inside the United States. The White House also announced new restrictions on international travel to prevent its spread.

Trump, speaking only moments after the death in Washington state was announced, took a more measured approach a day after he complained that the virus threat was being overblown and that his political enemies were perpetuating a “hoax.”
