Biden's health secretary says the virus poses a significant risk to Americans.

The declaration allows the federal government to amp up its response to the virus.

The country has over 6,000 reported cases.

Here in Canada, there are just under 900 reported cases, with the highest numbers in Ontario and Quebec.
