G7 countries to discuss joint response to coronavirus crisis
G7 countries will discuss a joint response to the coronavirus epidemic, Germany’s health minister says.
Jens Spahn says he has talked on the phone with his US counterpart and “we agreed that there should be a conference call, a discussion by G7 health ministers about this question with the aim of dealing with it together.”
Spahn adds: “There is no point in each country deciding on measures alone.”
The Group of Seven (G7) is made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
