Pence tells governors money for coronavirus costs is coming
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. He told them told them the administration would find the money to reimburse them. "What the vice president is envisioning as a former governor is 'Look, you guys need to be able to combat this thing. So you guys do what you've got to do. We will appropriate money and then simply reimburse you on the back end,'" DeSantis, a Republican, said at a news conference in Miami after confirming two people had been tested positive in Florida. Coronavirus cases have topped 100 in the U.S. and have spread to nearly a dozen states. Of those, six cases have been fatal, all in Washington state. In Congress, bipartisan negotiations are nearly complete on $7 billion to $8 billion in emergency funding to battle the virus, according to both Democratic and GOP aides. The measure appears on track to be unveiled as early as Tuesday, and the hope is to speed it quickly through both House and Senate by the end of the week.

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...

Texas colleges ramp up coronavirus travel restrictions cancellations
Rice University announced Tuesday morning that it is suspending all university-sponsored student travel and spring break trips to foreign countries until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lifts travel restrictions related to coronavirus. Sponsored travel for faculty to countries that are listed on the CDC’s restricted list have also been suspended, according to a release sent by the university’s crisis management advisory committee. Rice created a travel registry that requires all students, faculty and staff who have gone outside the United States to document their international travel. The response comes as universities across the state and the country prepare campuses for the potential arrival or spread of the contagious virus. The CDC has already issued guidance for higher education institutions to plan, prepare and respond to COVID-19. A Rice university research staff member may have been exposed to the coronavirus while traveling overseas. The person was tested for the virus by Harris County public health authorities who overnighted the sample to the CDC, county health officials said Monday. Those test results are expected by the end of the week. Other Texas colleges have taken similar precautions — restricting travel, suspending trips and requiring students and university employees to self-quarantine...
