House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) on Thursday said the body would vote on an aid package to counter the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak after reaching a deal with congressional Republicans and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who handled negotiations on behalf of the White House.
The package will guarantee free testing and 14 days of paid sick-leave for patients and tax credits for small- and medium-sized businesses affected by the outbreak. Additionally, the legislation will fund food assistance and Medicaid programs, as well as unemployment benefits.

Republicans initially were skeptical of the legislation due to provisions they feared would permanently increase paid leave entitlements, while Democrats did not want to include language explicitly prohibiting funding for abortions in the bill.
