US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin believes that the quarantine and self-isolation regime in which a quarter of the country's population lives today - 80 million Americans, will last from 10 to 12 weeks, until early June.
The head of the treasury said this on Sunday, March 22, in an interview with FOX News.
Mnuchin also said that US lawmakers are discussing a proposal to invest a trillion dollars in the country's economy, which should cover the damage caused by coronavirus. As part of this bill, which Congress is due to approve in the near future, an average American family of four will receive one-time assistance of $ 3,000.
The Federal Reserve is also developing a package of measures to help a wide range of US enterprises survive the period of isolation..
