Donald Trump has been criticised by healthcare workers in the United States for comparing them to soldiers.

During a speech at a medical equipment distribution centre in Pennsylvania, the US President said that doctors and nurses were "running into death just like soldiers run into bullets" and added that it was "a beautiful thing to see."

In the same speech, he also remarked that he thought testing for COVID-19 might be "overrated".
