Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020

Mar. 5, 2020 | H.R. 6074

This supplemental was the first phase of a national response to the public health emergency presented by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. It helped ensure that front-line workers performing essential services were protected against exposures to the virus—in order to protect these individuals and the public. The AFL-CIO supported robust funding to support the efforts of public health agencies to respond to the outbreak and to help health care workers and first responders safely care for individuals who contract COVID-19. This funding also will help public-facing workers stay safe as they provide essential services in areas such as transportation, education, corrections and food preparation. This bill passed the Senate on March 4, 2020, and was signed into law on March 6, 2020.
