1:53Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden on Thursday signed the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill into law in the U.S., exactly one year after the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a global pandemic. The move caps his first major legislative win and will speed aid to tens of millions of people, businesses and local governments—for many, not a moment too soon.
"I believe this historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving people who built the country a fighting chance," Biden said.
More than 29 million Americans have been infected and 529,000 have died from the virus. The pandemic has left roughly 10 million people unemployed and forced millions more to work from home, reinventing how we eat, dress and entertain ourselves.
