U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai"i) released the following statement after President Trump signed a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package into law. The package includes at least $1.7 billion in funding for Hawai"i.

"Help is on the way. With this bill now signed into law, at least $1.7 billion will now flow to Hawai"i to help those who've lost their job or can't make rent. It will provide more money for businesses, and give our state, hospitals, and health care providers more resources to distribute the vaccine and fight this pandemic. While it's not enough, and we still have more work to do, this will provide help immediately."
