Coronavirus health fears create financial concerns in United States

DETROIT – Health concerns over the coronavirus are creating financial concerns after the United States markets tumbled.

The U.S. is keeping a close eye on what’s happening overseas knowing that things could take a dramatic turn at any moment.

Hakim said if you’re investing you should be cautious and not do anything drastic.
