The United States Government is not leaving any stone unturned in ts battle against coronavirus.
Already, it has lost 844 people to the pandemic, with 63,570 infected.
In one of the latest smart moves, it has asked medical professionals seeking to work in America to apply for a work visa at the nearest US Embassy.
According to a statement published on www.travel.state.gov on Friday, the Trump government advised foreign medical professionals already in the US to consult with their sponsors to extend their programmes:
“For those foreign medical professionals already in the United States:
“J-1 Alien Physicians (medical residents) may consult with their programme sponsor, ECFMG, to extend their programmes in the United States. Generally, a J-1 program for a foreign medical resident can be extended one year at a time for up to seven years.”
“We encourage medical professionals seeking to work in the United States on a work or exchange visitor, particularly those working to treat or mitigate the effects of COVID-19, to reach out to the nearest embassy or consulate to request a visa appointment.
