California lawmakers approved an emergency $500 million spending package to help combat the coronavirus pandemic.
The money will be used to lease two hospitals, finance equipment and assist clinics, nursing homes and other facilities. Some of the funds will pay for cleaning daycare centers so they can remain open and to help stop the spread of the virus among the homeless. The legislation allows for another $500 million appropriation if needed.
