Ivanka Trump thanked the “heroic” first responders, healthcare professionals, and people on the “front line” who are working to keep the United States functioning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The first daughter and White House adviser offered praise in a video early Monday morning, adding that the country will emerge “stronger than ever before.”
“For those that are self-isolating and self-quarantining and following the CDC guidelines, we thank you as your weekend blends into your weekday,” Trump said. “For our heroic first responders, healthcare professionals, and the front line in this effort to keep our nation functioning — our grocers and our truckers, who are ensuring our strong food supply: We thank you, and we send our collective prayers for your safety and thoughts and gratitude your way.”
The first daughter told viewers that “we’re all in this together” and said citizens may emerge “more deeply and profoundly connected with our own humanity and our core values.”
“So I wish you a good beginning to the week. Let’s do everything we can to stop the spread, and let’s remember that we are all united in this together,” she concluded.
The U.S. has more than 30,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, with the illness claiming more than 400 lives.
