Coronavirus fears led to a historic drop in U.S. stocks, shut borders and disrupted daily life around the world, as governments took drastic measures to try to reduce the severity of the outbreak For the latest updates:
U.S. states pleaded with the Trump administration on Monday to coordinate a national response to the outbreak, saying patchwork measures enacted by state and local authorities were insufficient to confront the coast-to-coast emergency that has killed at least 74 Americans.
However, the United States was not yet closing its borders or mandating curfews or business closures on a national scale. EU finance ministers were planning a coordinated economic response to the virus, which the European Commission says could push the European Union into recession. In Italy, another 349 people died on Monday, taking the total to 2,158, with nearly 28,000 cases, after 368 deaths were reported on Sunday, a daily toll more dire than even China was reporting at the peak of the outbreak.
Public health experts in the United States and elsewhere are hoping the measures will help spread out the number of new cases over time so as not to overwhelm hospitals and healthcare systems as has happened in Italy.
