Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is hopeful members of both parties in Washington D.C. can work together in response to the coronavirus, while local officials are saying multiple agencies are working together to be prepared.
Senator McConnell spoke on the floor Tuesday, urging citizens to go to the federal website for the COVID-19 response at coronavirus.gov.
He urged Democrats and Republicans to work with the administration to find ways to stimulate an economy that’s suffering.
The president has talked about possible tax cuts and other measures to help hourly workers.
