MIAMI (AP) - MIAMI - The Trump administration on Monday reassured governors that they will be reimbursed for at least some of the costs of responding to the spread of the coronavirus, as several states began setting aside millions of dollars to head off a public health crisis. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Vice President Mike Pence addressed state needs for equipment and funding to fight the spread of the coronavirus during a call with governors.

The measure would finance both federal and state response efforts, fund the federal government's drive to develop and produce a vaccine, and offer Small Business Administration disaster loans to help businesses directly affected by coronavirus concerns. U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, said he hopes Congress will pass the measure within the next 10 days. "We are going to fight for the...

Syrian Muslim donates tree in Israel after coronavirus curtails bar mitzvah
