In another measure to combat coronavirus, US President Donald Trump declared a national emergency over the coronavirus pandemic. The next eight weeks are critical, he added. The emergency could free up $50 billion to help fight the pandemic. The emergency declaration falls under the Stafford Act, which governs the federal response to public health and natural disasters. After Trump’s announcement, Dow soar nearly 2,000 points.
