Trump administration officials say a foreign disinformation campaign is trying to spread fear amid the coronavirus pandemic, with false rumors of a nationwide quarantine and more.
A senior administration official told Fox News on Monday that it is imperative to ensure the information about the novel coronavirus is coming from verified outlets.
Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli

Hey folks, we’re not shutting down the United States. Lots of serious mis-information being peddled out there!The official added: “It’s important we remain vigilant in ensuring our information is coming from verified sources.”“There is an ongoing effort to spread disinformation and cause undue panic,” the official told Fox News, specifically referring to the rumors of a nationwide quarantine. “There is no national quarantine for the United States.”
The Associated Press reported that federal officials are describing the disinformation as part of a deliberate effort by a foreign entity to sow fears inside the U.S., though they did not specify which foreign entity may be involved.
The White House National Security Council took public steps to tamp down rumors, tweeting late Sunday that “Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE.”

Kinda ironic when Trump officials are now worried about a foreign entity spreading false information, especailly when they were the same parties who worked against securing elections from foreign influence

Because that's the longest we're gonna go before a national 'curfew' is introduced. FAA will shut down all 'non-essential' flights indefinitely, and each state will impose similar restrictions. Only thing that will be open is grocery stores and pharmacies, for no more than 8 hours a day.
