United States President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency over the spread of coronavirus in the United States.

Trump added: “Using federal emergency authorities, the FDA approved a new test for the virus. We did this within hours after receiving the application from Roche, a process that would normally take weeks. We therefore expect up to a half a million additional tests will be available early next week. We’ll be announcing locations probably on Sunday night.”

At the United Nations Headquarters, a majority of staff were told to stay home as a decision to possibly shut down the campus is still pending, as Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric explains. As the global economy creaks under the wait of the one-two punch of the virus, concerns that the UN’s development agenda will begin to suffer financial consequences of its own.
