President Donald Trump has signed off on the House’s emergency aid package passed hours earlier in the Senate on Wednesday in an effort to deal with the economic fallout stemming from the pandemic and widespread disruptions to everyday life.

The emergency aid package will provide paid sick and family leave for a number of Americans, offer free CCP virus testing, and bolster unemployment insurance. It’s the second such aid package this month.
