Kenneth Juster, the US Ambassador to India, said that USAID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as other agencies will work closely with India to combat the pandemic.

“Covid-19 is a global public health threat that can be addressed best by close collaboration among governments and international organizations," Juster said in a press release.

The funds will be used to support the work of USAID as well as the WHO in India, which involve strengthening its health services.
