ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — An economic relief bill signed Wednesday by President Donald Trump ensures free COVID-19 testing, strengthens unemployment insurance, increases spending on health insurance for the poor, and adds $1 billion in food aid.

The agreement also includes paid sick days for some employees, as well as three months of paid emergency leave during the crisis. Businesses would be paid back for some of those costs through tax credits. Big businesses with more than 500 employees cannot offer their employees paid sick leave or family leave under the bill.
