The congressional Republicans are working on an emergency stimulus package of reportedly two $1,000 checks to go to U.S. households, as well as $300 billion towards small businesses to avoid an inevitable recession, and possibly another great depression.
The Trump Administration is asking people to follow the 15-day presidential guidance to combat coronavirus, which include instructions to stay at home if you feel sick, are an older person, tested positive for coronavirus or have an underlying health condition.
Social gatherings have been limited to a maximum of 10 people. Outdoor eating is now only available by delivery, pickup or drive-thru. People are also being advised to practice good hygiene to avoid the spread of the virus.
