Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democratic senators introduced a bill aimed at making coronavirus testing free for anyone, even if they don’t have insurance, as did several lawmakers in the House of Representatives.

The new virus, which causes a disease called COVID-19, has quickly spread in some states, with the main clusters being in Washington state, California, New York, and Massachusetts.
