President Joe Biden said on Friday the U.

national emergency declared in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic will be extended beyond March 1 due to the ongoing risk to public health posed by the coronavirus.

Biden said the deaths of more than 900,000 Americans from COVID-19 emphasised the need to respond to the pandemic with “the full capacity” of the federal government.

The letter was released by the White House.
