The administration officials told CNBC that the White House is not ready to roll out specific economic proposals in a response to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

Inside the administration, some officials were stunned by President Trump's claim Monday that he would hold a press conference Tuesday to announce an economic plan to offset the coronavirus-induced slowdown. "That was news to everyone on the inside," one official said.

The actual details of any plan remain up in the air. "It's not there right now," an official said. "A lot of details need to be worked out."
