For his part, President Trump has declared Sunday (March 15) a National Day of Prayer for all affected by the coronavirus and stressed that Americans have always turned to prayer to seek guidance in time of crisis.

"As we continue to face the unique challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans are unable to gather in their churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship," the President said hours after he declared a national emergency in the US amid rising coronavirus cases in the country.

It is to be noted that coronavirus has killed at least 58 people and infected 2,816 others in the US. "But in this time we must not cease asking God for added wisdom, comfort, and strength, and we must especially pray for those who have suffered harm or who have lost loved ones. I ask you to join me in a day of prayer for all people who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and to pray for God`s healing hand to be placed on the people of our Nation," he added.

Meanwhile, President Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus, the president’s personal physician confirmed on Saturday. Trump decided to undergo test after coming in contact with several members of a Brazilian presidential delegation which met him at his resort in Florida and some members of the delegation ha now tested positive for the deadly virus.

"This evening I received confirmation that the test is negative," the president's physician Sean Conley said in a memo. "One week after having dinner with the Brazilian delegation at Mar-a-Lago, the President remains symptom-free," he added.
