This can include funding for healthcare services, testing and contact tracing efforts, and other essential services. Overall, the RELIEVE Act is aimed at providing much-needed relief to individuals and businesses that have been struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its ultimate fate will depend on the outcome of these discussions.
