Providence, RI – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) released the following statement on the incoming Biden-Harris administration’s COVID-19 emergency relief package, which is being unveiled this evening:
“COVID-19 continues to take an enormous toll. It’s robbed us of hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of jobs, and exacted damage that is impossible to measure, taking away precious time with our loved ones. Battling back this disease and reclaiming life as usual is vital. That’s why I’m pleased to see a bold, comprehensive plan from the president-elect to expand vaccination, provide economic relief to families, and send aid to struggling communities. These priorities ought to be our focus and this plan signals they will be.”
