In the background of the rapid spread of the virus in the United States last night, the US Congress approved Trump’s $ 2.2 trillion economic aid package – the largest aid program in American history. The House of Representatives approved the move by voice vote, with widespread support from lawmakers from both parties, who stood behind the bill. As part of the astronomical incentive, financial assistance will be provided to the unemployed and additional budgets will be transferred to hospitals across the state. In addition, many funds will be allocated from the budget to financially support small businesses. Trump even signed an order requiring US automaker General Motors to manufacture respirators.
In Israel yesterday, the number of victims of the Corona virus rose to 12. Wolfson Hospital in Holon has determined the death of an 80-year-old man hospitalized in human condition.
