CT Coronavirus: Courtney Delivers Update On Fed Funding

WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney (CT-02) on Wednesday shared another update with Connecticut Second District residents on the latest work in the House of Representatives to aid states and local governments in addressing the spread of Coronavirus, or COVID-19.

He said the House voted last week to pass an emergency supplemental funding bill that provided $8.3 billion in new federal funding to combat the "COVID-19 epidemic."

This week, the House is expected to consider another package of "policy responses that will help the millions of American workers, families, students, and businesses who have been and will be impacted by this ongoing public health emergency," Courtney said.
