A photo of U.S. President Donald Trump's notes for his Thursday press briefing with the COVID-19 task force showed the word "Corona" crossed out and replaced with "Chinese," CNN reported.

This picture came as Trump stepped up his efforts to scapegoat China for the spread of the coronavirus, said CNN.

After initially playing down the threat and focusing on the stock market, the Republican president's tone on the pandemic has changed sharply in the last few days as confirmed COVID-19 cases surged.

The president of the United States publicly labeled the COVID-19 as "the Chinese Virus" for the first time on Tuesday, when the confirmed cases of COVID-19 rose to 5,000 in less than a month from the time when the first patient was diagnosed.

"The United States will be powerfully supporting those industries, like Airlines and others, that are particularly affected by the Chinese Virus. We will be stronger than ever before!" tweeted Trump.

He then repeatedly used "Chinese Virus" in several tweets, despite nickname he had made up immediately drawing criticism for inciting stigmatization and racial discrimination.
