The relief package is the largest of its kind in US history and would see paychecks delivered directly from the government to citizens, small, private and public companies that have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer said, “This is a strange and evil disease. When we pass this bill, instead of hugging each other, we’ll wave from a distance.”

The funding will allow Americans to receive $1,200 in direct deposits for Adults and $500 for kids. It’ll also allow businesses, cities and states to have access to $500bn through a lending program and $367bn in finance for small businesses.

Hospitals will also have access to $130bn in funding and expending unemployment insurance.
