'Donald Trump is undermining doctors on coronavirus,' say democratic nominees
Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have hit out at Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak during the latest Democratic debate.
The pair faced off in a Washington TV studio with no audience in a move made to limit possible exposure to the virus.
With limited testing available, US officials have recorded nearly 3,000 cases and 65 deaths in the outbreak, up from 58 on Saturday.
In their first one-on-one debate, the two Democratic contenders to face Mr Trump in the November election clashed on the proper response to the coronavirus pandemic and other issues.
Both candidates accused the president of contributing to growing worries by spending weeks minimising the threat before declaring a national emergency on Friday.
But the two disagreed sharply over how they would handle the crisis as president, and bickered repeatedly over their records on a range of issues from climate change to healthcare.
"People are looking for results, not a revolution," Mr Biden said, taking a shot at his opponent's promises to lead a political revolution to sweep in his anti-corporate economic agenda.
