>>> The United States records its largest single-day increase
in confirmed COVID-19 cases.
The number of infections has soared by more than 40%.
>>> Today I am officially declaring a national emergency.
>>> We're going to begin with breaking news because more than
one-fourth of Americans are now being ordered to stay home.
Today, the governors of New York, Illinois, and
Connecticut join California and Pennsylvania,
shutting down most businesses.
Workers considered essential are exempt in grocery stores,
pharmacies, and take out restaurants will stay open
in those states. This all comes as US coronavirus
cases now top 17,000, and there has been a greater
than 25% spike in deaths.
