**DROPPING IN THIS ISSUE:**

Information regarding the Senate's
action on the coronavirus, or COVID-19, outbreak.





The
coronavirus, or COVID-19, has captured the attention and worry of many
Americans across the country.
Rightfully so, many Idahoans and Americans
are concerned about what they can do to stay safe and healthy and
reduce the spread of the virus.
Many others are worried about the
long-term economic impacts this global pandemic will have on our country, our
state and on individual households.
I remain in Washington, D.C., to
continue my work for Idahoans and to help answer some lingering
questions and ease those concerns.

I am following the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on hygiene
practices.
Effective Friday, March 14, my Washington, D.C., office moved to teleworking
options, allowing my staff to work from home in order to reduce the
spread of COVID19 in the capital region.
My state staff have been
instructed to take additional precautions in my regional offices,
including but not limited to, limiting public and in-person interactions, and
expanding telework options where necessary and possible.
The work for
Idahoans continues, and my staff are readily available to address
your concerns.

Below is my most recent statement regarding emergency
legislation, as well as additional information and resources
constituents may find helpful.
I will send regular updates to constituents
through this newsletter platform as additional information becomes
available.
You can see all of my previous statements, as well as find
additional helpful information by visiting my website at

**My March 18 Statment On "Phase Two" of Coronavirus Emergency
Legislation**

Over the last several weeks, America has been faced with the
uncertainty of the risks, transmission and effects of the coronavirus,
or COVID-19.
At the national, state, local and even household level,
this pandemic has challenged our sense of normalcy and it has tested
every institution of daily life we know.
Earlier this month, I voted
to support funding that would help bolster states' responses to the
virus, advance research to develop a vaccine, fund community health
centers and provide for other emergency response mechanisms.
On Wednesday,
March 18, I voted to support broad, bipartisan emergency legislation
that will provide relief to many American families facing financial
hardships.

I continue to thank those within the health care system
and others on the frontlines of battling the coronavirus for their
dedication to treating patients and working to find a life-saving vaccine.


The American people are resilient, and we will see the end of
this challenge as we continue to work together.
In the meantime, I
encourage Idahoans and all Americans to take prudent measures to help stop
the spread of this virus by adhering to updated guidance from our
public health experts at the CDC and the White House.

Now, our strong
underlying economy needs our help, and I will continue working with my
Senate colleagues and the Administration to move forward to assist
workers, families and small businesses who face financial fallout during
this extraordinarily difficult time.



**I Discussed Plans for
"Phase Three" of Coronavirus Emergency Legislation**

Phase three of
coronavirus legislation in the Senate is aimed at keeping jobs
long-term.
Phase three legislation from the Senate will focus on long-term
economic needs.
