McConnell Wants Business Protection In Next COVID Bill

According to Reuters, on Wednesday U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell demanded that Congress protect businesses from coronavirus-related liabilities.

He wants to make sure that this is clear in the next legislative bill aimed at combating the pandemic.

McConnell explained to Fox News Radio, “We’re going to insist on this reform, which is not related to money, as a condition for going forward.” He wants liability protection for businesses that have remained in operation during the national lockdown, and those that may soon reopen.

McConnell added, “We’re willing to discuss the way forward, provided we have protections for the brave people who’ve been on the front lines.”
