Mike Bloomberg announces a $40 million commitment to support “immediate action” to fight the spread of the coronavirus in Africa and low and middle-income countries around the world.
Bloomberg will partner with the World Health Organization and Vital Strategies, a large public health organization that partners with city and local governments on health issues. He's also working with former CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden, who served as commissioner of the New York City Health Department during Bloomberg's term as mayor.
“Millions of lives depend on getting the coronavirus response right – and so does the economic and social health of communities around the world. We need to slow transmission of the virus and minimize the impact of the outbreak in all countries," Bloomberg said in a statement.

Bloomberg made tackling the coronavirus and criticism of the Trump administration's initial response a focus on his presidential campaign in late February and early March, before he bowed out of the race after a poor performance on Super Tuesday.
