Coronavirus is keeping members of Congress from returning to DC next week. Work from home will continue via teleconferencing as Congress and Senate work on important issues that affect the American people.

April Ryan speaks with Don Beyer (D-VA) about lawmakers working from home, many of whom are over 60 or have children at home.

I've compiled a series of summaries of financial assistance (direct payments, unemployment, paid leave, & more), plus housing, food, and small business resources.

It's at my COVID-19 page along with news, public health info, and updates on what I'm doing:https://t.co/hl4SC3PTOq pic.twitter.com/HlEoutlfuC
