▲ New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy
AFP News reported that New Jersey, which suffered the most severe blow with New York State in the United States due to the spread of Corona 19, would issue temporary emergency medical permits to doctors licensed abroad.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said in a Twitter announcement that he was the first of the 50 states in the United States to make provisional licenses to foreign doctors to get help on the Corona 19 front.
Earlier, the New York Times pointed out that while many foreign doctors and nurses in the United States are ready to help, there are obstacles that prevent them from working in US hospitals, such as travel restrictions and visa restrictions.
The United States, as well as countries around the world, operate strict licenses for medical personnel and generally do not recognize foreign licenses.
In New Jersey, with a population of about 9 million, about 78,000 were confirmed and 3,800 were killed.
As New York and New Jersey became the 'hot spots' of Corona Pedic, local leaders have been appealing to strengthen health workers.
