And in the US, urgently needed medical supplies were airlifted into New York on Sunday, the first of a number of flights over the next 30 days organized by the White House to help fight the coronavirus.

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said of the initiative in a statement;

“At President Trump’s direction we formed an unprecedented public-private partnership to ensure that massive amounts of masks, gear and other PPE will be brought to the United States immediately to better equip our health care workers on the front lines and to better serve the American people,”

In hospitals and after shifts, doctors and nurses have been sharing selfies to illustrate just how incredibly tough the fight against coronavirus is on the front line.

Now, per the Mirror, Dr Sam Atallah has shared a heart-rending selfie with his wife, just before she was moved to a coronavirus isolation ward.

Meanwhile, President Trump insisted that the US was in "very good shape" to provide enough ventilators for patients who need them during the peak of the infection - predicted to come in two weeks time.

"We have now 10 companies at least making the ventilators, and we say go ahead because, honestly, other countries - they'll never be able to do it," Mr Trump said during Monday's Coronavirus Task Force briefing from the White House.
