President Trump has declared a national emergency as the coronavirus pandemic sweeps through the United States. The declaration frees up billions of dollars to fund public health and removes restrictions on hospitals to treat more patients. The administration also announced a partnership with several major employers—including Google, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Target—to provide faster testing in local communities and a web site where people feeling ill can determine if they should be tested.
