New York's mayor issues a stark warning as the state struggles to slow the spread of coronavirus.
The coronavirus outbreak in New York will get worse, with damage accelerated by shortages of key medical supplies, the city's mayor has said.
"All Americans deserve the blunt truth," Mr de Blasio told NBC News."It's only getting worse, and in fact April and May are going to be a lot worse."On Friday, President Donald Trump approved a major disaster declaration for the state which gave it access to billions of dollars of federal aid. Speaking at a news conference at the White House on Sunday, Mr Trump said he had also approved a major disaster declaration for Washington state and would approve a similar measure for California.President Trump also said a number of medical supplies were being sent to locations nationwide, as well as emergency medical stations for New York, Washington and California, the worst-hit states.
In California, officials instructed hospitals to restrict coronavirus testing. Meanwhile, a hospital in Washington state - once the centre of the US outbreak - said it could run out of ventilators by April.
