Trump, Pence and coronavirus task force members meet with pharmaceutical executives

President Trump, Vice President Pence and members of the coronavirus task force meet with pharmaceutical executives at the White House. In the United States, where two deaths were reported over the weekend, tests have taken place at a far slower pace. A genetic analysis has suggested that the novel coronavirus, which causes a highly infectious respiratory disease called covid-19, has probably been spreading undetected for about six weeks in Washington state. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Saturday took steps to sharply expand testing. <br />Cre: Washington Post<br />
