Schumer Calling For Declaration of Public Health Emergency

Senator Chuck Schumer is urging federal officials to declare the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency.

Yesterday, he called for officials to make the declaration, which would give the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention access to 85-million-dollars to fight infectious disease.

Schumer says the additional funds could be used for screening, increasing public awareness, and tracing the virus.

A fifth case of coronavirus has been confirmed in the U.S.
