The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything most of us have seen or likely will see again in our lifetime. As leaders guide their priorities based on what is safest for our communities, it’s critical that families and our heroes on the frontlines have the flexibility they need to endure this public health crisis and to lay the foundation for our future recovery. By reaffirming a commitment to the principles that made our economy strong and expanding innovation in health care and the workforce, we can ensure that our nation—both its citizens and its economy—emerges stronger than ever.
