Capitol Hill negotiators have sealed a deal on an almost 1 trillion dollar Covid-19 economic relief package. The agreement delivers extra help to businesses and individuals and provides money to deliver vaccines across the US. The agreement, announced by Senate leaders, would establish a temporary 300 dollar per week supplemental jobless benefit and 600 dollar direct stimulus payments to most Americans, along with a new round of subsidies for hard-hit businesses and money for schools, healthcare providers and renters facing eviction. The House was expected to vote on the legislation on Monday, said a spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
