Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren's plan came as authorities across the globe race to address the new coronavirus.
Warren's infectious diseases plan also draws on her previously released plans to address climate change and the opioid epidemic, issues which exacerbate the spread of diseases, as well as her health-care agenda.
"We can invest at home to ensure our public health agencies, hospitals, and health care providers are ready to jump into action when outbreaks strike," Warren wrote. "And we can help build strong public health systems abroad." The top four candidates have struggled to gain an edge in the race's final weeks before voting begins. For senators like Warren and Sanders, the difficulty has been compounded by President Donald Trump's ongoing impeachment trial in the Senate, which has kept the lawmakers in Washington and away from voters in the early states.
