The novel coronavirus has had a major impact on the US economy, from businesses having to temporarily close to many Americans across several industries being laid off from work.

To help with the economic strain from the outbreak, the Senate on Wednesday night passed a $2 trillion stimulus bill , with the House of Representatives set to vote on the bill Friday morning.
