The Latest: Biden: Sending help to India during virus surge
By The Associated PressApril 27, 2021 GMT
WASHINGTON President Joe Biden says the U.S. is sending “a whole series of help” to India to combat the coronavirus, including life-saving therapeutics.
Biden says the U.S. is sending “mechanical parts” India needs to domestically produce COVID-19 vaccines. The president adds the administration is engaging in discussions about when the U.S. could send vaccine doses to India.
“I think we’ll be in a position to be able to share vaccines as well as know-how with other countries who are in real need. That is the hope and expectation,” Biden says.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are to join famous names from the worlds of music, film and politics at a special concert in aid of the global vaccination effort.
The couple will serve as campaign chairs for Global Citizen’s Vax Live event in Los Angeles next month, encouraging donations to Covax, which is working to provide vaccines for low and middle-income countries.
Hosted by Selena Gomez, the broadcast special on May 8 will feature musical performances by Jennifer Lopez, Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Foo Fighters, J Balvin and HER.
