Trump backs paid sick leave for coronavirus patients

President Trump is looking to pass a paid sick leave program for workers who become infected with the coronavirus.

“Most important to the president’s heart, we want to make sure that hourly workers, hard-working, blue-collar Americans that may not have paid family leave today … would be afforded the resources to provide paid leave so that no one would feel that they have to go to work if they might be infected or might have been exposed,” Vice President Mike Pence said at a coronavirus task force press briefing Tuesday evening.
