John, 

 

I hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe during these difficult
times. As Americans, we are no strangers to adversity. The COVID-19 pandemic
has affected nearly all parts of our day to day lives but we will get through
this as one nation and emerge stronger than ever. In the meantime, I wanted to
give you the latest update on ongoing efforts to slow the spread of this virus
in our community.

* After my request to Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin and Federal
Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to include Suffolk County in the Municipal
Liquidity Facility,the Federal Reserve Board decided to expand the Facility,
allowing Suffolk County to become eligible for low interest loans, saving our
local taxpayers money.
<[link removed]> This was an
amazing team effort getting this done!
* One of the updates everyone has been watching closely in New York has been
the amount of deaths each day.
<[link removed]> These updates are
filled with a tremendous amount of mixed emotions. The good news in recent days
is that the total number of deaths in New York are now on the decline. The bad
news is that we are still losing hundreds of New Yorkers every day and these
individuals have loved ones now in mourning. Hopefully the amount of death
continues to go down each day from here. This progress wouldn't have been
possible if not for our medical professionals and other front line workers
fighting so hard for the rest of us. 
* I visited a new drive thru coronavirus testing facility in Southampton
yesterday <[link removed]>, being
run by Hudson River Health Care. This new facility will be open on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. by appointment only. If you are a South Fork
resident experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, you can call 1-844-HRH-CARE to
schedule an appointment.
* I helped out at a food distribution in Riverhead yesterday
<[link removed]>
, hosted by the Donald and Barbara Zucker Family Foundation, that donated
$10,000 for those in need during this outbreak. Thank you to Riverhead Town
Supervisor Yvette Aguiar and the Riverhead Town Board for their leadership to
make this all happen as well.
* Week after week, we see stories about small businesses and community
leaders doing what they can and pitching in to help our healthcare workers,
first responders, and all those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. From
Wendy’s Deli in Mattituck delivering food to local hospitals
<[link removed]> to Long Island
Community Hospital raising over $550,000 in 10 days
<[link removed]> to help combat
the virus, Long Islanders have really shown the rest of the country who we are
and how we look out for our neighbors. 
We have made big strides in the right direction to get through this crisis.
This is in no small part due to the valiant efforts of our healthcare warriors
putting themselves on the line to protect public health, and the sacrifices we
have all made to stay at home and stop the spread. We still have a lot more to
do to beat this thing, and we will do it together as one nation and one
community. 


Be Well, Best Wishes, and Stay Healthy,

Lee Zeldin, Member of Congress (NY-01)
