At least 206 members of the Fire Department of New York have tested positive for Covid-19, FDNY spokesperson Jim Long tells CNN. That’s up from 131 yesterday. That includes firefighters, emergency medical service workers and civilian employees.
From CNN's Haley Byrd, Clare Foran, and Manu RajuThe House of Representatives on Friday approved a historic $2 trillion coronavirus response stimulus package, clearing the way for President Trump's signature.
Key elements of the package include sending checks directly to individuals and families, an expansion of unemployment benefits, money for hard-hit hospitals and health care providers, financial assistance for small businesses and $500 billion in loans for distressed companies. A bipartisan swath of lawmakers passed the stimulus package by voice vote, a process commonly used in the House for uncontroversial measures, after Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie attempted to force a full roll call vote — a scenario that had members scrambling to get back to the Capitol from around the country on Friday.
