Pence outlines federal coronavirus response

Vice President Mike Pence joined "CBS This Morning" just a day after WHO announced the coronavirus was being classified as a pandemic.

Mr. Pence also called Europe the "epicenter" of the virus, backing Mr. Trump's extraordinary measure to temporarily suspend travel from the continent.
