Trump: Hopes we're seeing levelling off of coronavirus in the hottest spots

Members of the Coronavirus Task Force are holding a press briefing and Trump is the first to speak, explaining the inventory of protective gear such as masks and ventilators in the way to those in need. 

At the same time, Trump has contradicted his recent warnings, now saying that he hopes we're seeing levelling off of coronavirus in the hottest spots. He then said "we are heading to the peak of the epidemic".

Key comments

1.67 million people have been tested, far more than other countries.
