WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 25 - The Trump administration is sending Congress an additional $ 2.5 billion request to the budget to combat coronavirus. Politico writes it.
The package also includes drawing on unused funds, such as Ebola funds. Over a billion will go to the development of the vaccine while the rest of the money will give the Ministry of Health the flexibility to spend the cash as it sees fit, from the stocks of protective masks to the payment of diagnostics.
