The House of Representatives on April 23 passed a stimulus bill with $484 billion in funding for the battle against the CCP virus and financial relief for American workers and businesses affected by shutdowns related to the pandemic.

The Senate had approved the bill two days earlier and the president has signaled his intent to sign it. The bill approved by the House on April 23 is the fourth such measure passed as part of the government’s response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on the economy. The three prior bills already amounted to the largest stimulus in U.S. history.
