US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has condemned President Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic. A recording released earlier this month revealed Trump admitting to downplaying the threat posed by Covid-19 at the beginning of the outbreak in the US, although the president has since claimed he "up-played" it.
“He knew it and did nothing. It’s close to criminal,” Biden said of his Republican rival at a town hall event held in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Thursday. "This president should step down," he added. Almost 200,000 people have died of coronavirus in the US since the pandemic began.
