Congress was briefed on the Coronavirus Thursday morning.

Congressman Rodney Davis indicates his biggest concern is making sure central Illinois is equipped with the proper testing kits they need. He indicates President Trump allowed Congressman and women access to health officials on the front lines of this outbreak.

The nature of the outbreak of the virus has been frustrating for Davis. He says the dishonesty from China on the severity of the illness did not help the global reaction. He credits the Trump administration for their response to the virus and keeping it from getting bad in America.

Davis says he is very concerned about the possibility to spread but feels credit needs to be given to health officials in Illinois for being proactive in their reaction.

He is also disappointed in the discord over the virus and anyone making it a partisan issue.
