President Trump officially declares a national emergency, which will unlock access to $50B in funds.
He’s asking hospitals to activate emergency plans.
The order also gives broad authority to the U.S.Health & Human Service Department.
Includes ability to waive some federal laws to allow telemedicine.
Trump says a half million more tests will be available next week.
He doesn’t want everyone “running out and taking a test.” Only those exhibiting certain symptoms should get tested, he said.
“We will overcome the threat of the virus,” he said.
“This will pass through and we will be even stronger for it,” he said as he was wrapping up his address.
