White House officials are expected to ask Congress for emergency funding this week to battle the coronavirus amid growing fears of a larger outbreak in the US, two officials familiar with the forthcoming request say
Government aides worked throughout the weekend on the supplemental request, which is still not final but could be sent to Capitol Hill as soon as Monday, according to a person familiar with the plans.That source said Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar has ruffled feathers through the process by requesting amounts of money that"have been seen as largely out of proportion.
""It's a big situation going on throughout the world, and I can say that the Unites States, we've pretty much closed our doors in certain areas and about certain areas and lose certain areas," he told reporters."We have the greatest doctors in the world, we have it under control, we accepted a few people -- a very small amount of people, they're very well confined, and they should be getting better fairly soon. Very interestingly, we have no deaths.
