As the coronavirus pandemic tore deeper into the fabric of American public life, United States President Donald Trump declared a national emergency on Friday to provide more money to fight a pandemic that has killed 41 people in the US.

Trump said the declaration would free up to $50bn for state and local governments to respond to the outbreak.
