President Donald Trump said he won't issue a national stay-at-home order because different states have different levels of coronavirus cases.

“States are different and I understand that the governor of Florida, great Gov. Ron DeSantis issued one today and that’s good, that’s great. But there are some states that are different. There are some states that don't have much of a problem,” Trump said Wednesday afternoon.

The President said there should be some sort of flexibility among the states, depending on how bad individual states’ situations might be.

“You have to look — you have to give a little flexibility. If you have a state in the Midwest, or if Alaska for example doesn't have a problem, it's awfully tough to say close it down. We have to have a little bit of flexibility,” Trump said.

Some context: Surgeon General Jerome Adams said the 30 days to slow the spread guidelines should be viewed as a national stay-at-home order on Wednesday morning. 

“My advice to America would be that these guidelines are a national stay-at-home order.
There are guidelines that say, look, the more we social distance, the more we stay at home, the less spread of disease there will be,” Adams said.
