  1. Thank you for joining us - we'll be back on Saturdaypublished at 23:34 BST 10 April 2020

    That wraps up our live coverage for the day. Thank you for joining us, we'll see you again on Saturday morning.

    Here's a roundup of the biggest stories from the US today:

    • Apple and Google are jointly developing technology to alert people if they've recently come into contact with others infected with coronavirus
    • President Trump says the US will see fewer than 100,000 deaths, much lower than original estimates of 2.2 million in a worst-case scenario
    • He also says some states "do not need testing", giving Iowa as an example, because their populations are widely dispersed across large areas
    • Dr Jerome Adams, the US surgeon general, says coronavirus is "disproportionately impacting" people of colour
    • Dr Anthony Fauci, who is leading the US response to coronavirus, says antibody tests - which would show whether somebody has already had the virus - are close to being ready, and he suggests the US is "starting to see the levelling off and coming down" of cases and deaths
    • Thousands of migrants are expelled under coronavirus powers on the US-Mexico border
    • Images emerge of coffins being buried in a mass grave on New York City's Hart Island. New York state governor Andrew Cuomo would not comment on this in his press briefing
    • And it emerges that there are now more coronavirus cases in New York than in any individual country

    Things were already tense at a prison in Lansing, Kansas.

    A dozeninmates and 14 staffers got sick from Covid-19, and officials gave outcloth masks to try and stop the infection from spreading further.

    Then, onThursday, some of the prisoners began to set fires and smash windows. Theuprising lasted several hours, and it is not clear why it started. No-one wasbadly hurt during the melee, and the facilities were locked down again by earlythe following day.

    The violence at the prison - which houses about150 inmates - is the latest sign that people in confinement are becomingincreasingly desperate. Hundreds of people have been infected in US prisons andjails, according to data compiled by the New York Times, and more than twodozen have died.

    Prisoners try to protect themselves against the diseaseas best they can. In some places, such as in Lansing, they have begun toexpress their rage in a violent manner.

  3. Doctors criticise 'Herculean effort' claimpublished at 22:58 BST 10 April 2020

    Dr David Wrigley, the Vice-Chairman of the doctors’ union,the British Medical Association (BMA), has criticised the health secretary’s commentsthatthere had been a “Herculean effort” to provide the NHS with protective equipment.

    He said that doctors “are not getting the PPE that theyneed”.

    “We’ve heard from two parts of England where there is insufficientPPE being provided for doctors on the front line. It’s forcing them intoimpossible situations and it’s putting their lives at risk,” he told the BBC.

    He added that it was a “shocking indictment” that staffworking in some intensive care units did not have the correct face masks.

    And he said the BMA “know now at least 11 doctors have diedin the fight” against the virus.

  4. Confusion over Philadelphia bus mask policypublished at 22:53 BST 10 April 2020

    A Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, transit policy of having all bus passengers wear masks in order to protect employees was shortlived thanks to a couple of videos.

    In one clip, a man tells passengers without masks they must exit the bus - though he does not have a mask on himself. In another, police are seen dragging a man off. The footage was shared on Twitter, prompting questions from locals about what exactly the policy was.

    The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has nowtold the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper, external it will no longer enforce the mask mandate, which began on Thursday.

  5. Medics show smiles behind the maskspublished at 22:42 BST 10 April 2020

    Hidden behind protective masks, medics' faces are likely to remain unknown to most of the patients they treat.

    That’s a problem for nurses and doctors seeking to comfort theirpatients with a reassuring smile.

    But medical staff in the US have found a novel solution - they’ve been attaching photos of theirsmiling faces to their protective clothing.

    Respiratory therapist Robertino Rodriguez has been using thetechnique while treating coronavirus patients at Scripps Mercy Hospital in SanDiego.

    In an Instagram post, he said he “felt bad for my patients in ERwhen I would come in the room with my face covered”.

    Other medical workers have emulated his technique, sending him pictures of themselves doing so.

    The trend appears to be catching on in the US, where a similar initiative has been developed at a drive-through Covid-19 testing site run by Stanford University’s medical department.

    AnthonyAlmojera, a senior paramedic in New York City, has written a diary for the BBCof one day in his working life. He says that day - last Sunday - was the worstin his 17-year career.

    We arrive at a house and I put on my mask, gown andgloves.

    We find a man. His family says he has had a fever andcough for five days. We start CPR and I watch the medics pass a tube down histhroat to breathe for him.

    We work on him for about 30 minutes before we pronouncehim dead. I make sure the crews are OK and get back in my truck -decontaminating everything first. I hit the button to go available.

    Twenty minutes later, I get another cardiac arrest. Samesymptoms, same procedures, same results.

    We hit the button, get another one.

    Hit the button after that, get another one.

    There's only one patient we've seen so far who I feelwasn't Covid-19 and that's because it was a suicide. Imagine: I was there andmy brain felt relief. This person's dead and it's a suicide. I felt relief thatit was a regular job.

    It is now around 11:00 and I've done about six cardiacarrests.

    In normal times, a medic gets two or three in a week,maybe. You can have a busy day sometimes, but never this. Never this.

    Yemen was the last Arab country to confirm the presence of coronavirus

    Aid agencies have expressed alarm after the first virus case was confirmed in Yemen, where years of civil war have devastated health systems.

    Oxfam said it was a “devastating blow”, while the International Rescue Committee called it a “nightmare scenario”.

    Yemen is suffering the world's worst humanitarian crisis and millions are reliant on food aid.

    Diseases including cholera, dengue and malaria are rife and only half of hospitals are fully functional.

    News of the first Covid-19 case came a day after theSaudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen began a ceasefire, saying it wanted to help stop coronavirus spread and support UN peace efforts.

  10. What did we learn from Trump's briefing?published at 21:37 BST 10 April 2020

    Today's press conference from President Donald Trump and the White House coronavirus task force has finished.

    Here's what was said:

    • President Trump believes the US will see fewer than 100,000 deaths, adding that original estimates suggested that 2.2 million could have died in a worst-case scenario. He praised Americans, saying "nobody thought the American people could be so disciplined"
    • He said more than 2m coronavirus tests have been completed, with around 100,000 happening each day. He said the US was "leading the world" in testing
    • Deborah Birx, who is part of the coronavirus task force, said the US "has not reached the peak" despite hospitalisations declining in New York
    • Dr Jerome Adams, the US Surgeon General, said coronavirus has disproportionately affected people of colour. He said that "black boys are three times as likely to die of asthma" as white children, and took the inhaler from his pocket to show he still considers it a risk
    • Trump said some states "do not need testing", giving Iowa as an example, because their populations are widely dispersed across large areas
    • Trump wants to reopen the US as soon as possible, but accepts that "the facts will determine" when it happens
    • Earlier he praised people working on the front lines, specifically those who work in grocery stores, saying he wanted to "thank them and shout out to them"
    • Asked about churches being open, Vice-President Mike Pence said he thought all places of worship should "heed the guidelines issued" and added: "Jesus says where two or more are gathered, there he is also, you can worship... and you'll be serving the nation"
    • Trump spoke about coronavirus as “a brilliant enemy”, calling it “genius” and adding it was “hidden, but very smart”

    Romania's hospitals have struggled to cope with the influx of coronavirus patients

    The situation in Romania's hospitals is under control despite localised problems caused by the spread of coronavirus, a government official has told the BBC.

    The country has struggled to contain the spread of the virus, not helped by the return of 250,000 Romanians from jobs elsewhere in Europe during March.

    Almost 5,500 people have tested positive, 257 have died, and a similar number of new infections were reported in the last 24 hours.

    In the north-eastern city of Suceava, the hospital became the centre of contagion, with 182 medical staff infected.

    Elsewhere in the western city of Timisoara, 10 newborn babies tested positive for the virus, despite none of their mothers having the disease. Of those babies, seven have since tested negative.

    A criminal investigation has been launched, the director of the public health authority fired, and the hospital re-organised.

    Romanian government spokesman Andi Munciu told the BBC such cases were not a reflection of the "generalised situation" in the country.

  12. Trump wants to reopen US 'as soon as possible'published at 20:31 BST 10 April 2020

    President Trump said he wants to reopen the country "as soon as possible" but "facts will determine" when he does so.

    Current restrictions in the US are set to end on 30 April.

    Asked if he was overly determined to reopening the country on that date, Trump said: "I would love to open, I've not determined anything. The facts will determine what I do."

    He said he will announce a new council on Tuesday, made up of doctors and businessmen tasked with discussing when the country could reopen.

    Trump named the council the "opening our country council".

    "We are going to have great business leaders and doctors," he said.

    "We will be announcing names on Tuesday and that will play a role [in deciding when the country can reopen].

    "I want to get open as soon as possible. This country is meant to be open and vibrant."
