1st District Congressman Roger Marshall (R-Kan.)

United States President Donald Trump recently recently signed a bipartisan $8.3 billion spending bill into law to combat the COVID-19, or novel coronavirus, outbreak.

Kansas 1st District Congressman Roger Marshall says some of it will be used for test kits and vaccine research.

He does stress, however, that the vaccines likely won’t be available in the near future.

For now, Marshall says Kansans should be prepared for the possibility of the disease spreading to Kansas.

He says some ways Kansans can prepare are having plans for adults and children not being able to go to work or school and the elderly needing a prescription for an extended period of time.

Trump initially proposed a $2.5 billion spending bill, but Marshall says certain members of Congress wanted it to be more extensive.

COVID-19 cases have yet to appear in Kansas, but some have appeared in nearby states, such as Colorado and Nebraska.
