Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have claimed that their concerns in March about the spread of coronavirus in Europe were sidelined by the White House over political concerns.
The CDC's plan to issue a global advisory warning people of the dangers of air travel on March 5 was delayed for nearly a week, according to a CNN report citing six unnamed CDC officials.
'The White House was extremely focused on China and not wanting to anger Europe ... even though that's where most of our cases were originally coming from,' one current CDC official told the network.
The advisory was delayed until March 11, the same day that Trump issued a ban on travel from continental Europe, the report claims.
