Last updated: 2020-03-14 03:50US President Donald Trump announced on March 13 that the United States has officially entered a state of emergency in response to a new pneumonia epidemic.
Trump said that an announcement of a state of emergency could allocate $ 50 billion to the state and local governments to fight the epidemic and order hospitals to implement preparatory measures.
He said the emergency order gave the Minister of Health greater power and flexibility to exempt some legislation.
Reuters reported earlier that once the new pneumonia epidemic is classified as a national disaster in the United States, the government can start the Stafford Act and allocate up to $ 40 billion for the federal government as emergency funding for the epidemic.
