WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives passed a multi-billion dollar aid package early on Saturday that aims to limit the economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic. The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to take it up this week.The bill would provide free coronavirus testing for those who need it. President Donald Trump’s administration has struggled to provide such tests.
The bill would require governments and private businesses that have fewer than 500 employees to provide up to two weeks of paid sick leave - paid at the employee’s regular rate - if they miss work due to coronavirus. Employees would be paid at two-thirds of their regular pay if they have to care for a sick family member, or if they need to care for a child whose school or day-care provider has closed.
The benefit would apply only to states that see their unemployment rates rise by at least 10 percent. They also would get interest-free loans, if needed, to cover benefit costs under the bill.
