#Coronavirus has brought our society and our economy to a standstill. We need to focus on beating this virus so we can turn the page and restore the world’s greatest economy as quickly as possible. More in my @DCExaminer op-ed: https://t.co/ita2vOWXNm — PolitiTweet.org

Spoke with @SharonCoolidge and @jwilliamscincy on the “That's So Cincinnati” podcast this week about what we are doing at the federal level to combat the #coronavirus and help folks across #Ohio. You can listen to the podcast here: https://t.co/1DSaoPMFcE — PolitiTweet.org

We are facing a nat'l shortage of masks, gowns & other personal protective gear - which is essential to keeping our brave health care workers safe. That's why I want to commend Ohio-based @cardinalhealth for donating 2.2million non-surgical isolation gowns to hotspots nationwide https://t.co/Pk8fQ3hAuz — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a quick explainer on why increasing #Ohio’s #coronavirus diagnostic testing capacity is important and what I’m doing to help. Ramping up diagnostic testing is the key to containing and stopping the spread of the virus. https://t.co/BpaJww3WjP — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Beating this virus & ensuring folks have the support they need requires nothing less than an ‘all hands on deck’ response. I’m working w/ @realDonaldTrump, @GovMikeDewine, state & community leaders & private sector businesses to help. https://t.co/lXhsJXbFfA — PolitiTweet.org

This collaboration between @GM and @Honda is welcome news for the Mahoning Valley, which is home to a highly skilled, world-class workforce. We’re excited to get this new battery plant up and running, and for the #jobs it will bring to the region. #Ohio https://t.co/QpCUcolyPi — PolitiTweet.org

The #coronavirus pandemic is taking a huge toll on small businesses. But the CARES Act is going to help.    Specifically, the #PaycheckProtectionProgram and employee retention tax credit will help small businesses stay afloat and can help keep employees on payroll. https://t.co/121dLsspIi — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

IMPORTANT: Starting today, small businesses can apply for the #PaycheckProtectionProgram, created by the CARES Act to provide funds to cover payroll & keep folks employed. Learn more here: https://t.co/H9mPFKRmXD. https://t.co/TXiw0wEw28 — PolitiTweet.org

Although the #coronavirus pandemic is disrupting all facets of society, we’ve taken swift action to ensure veterans in Ohio will receive the support they need and deserve. https://t.co/ewKNgjrUfB — PolitiTweet.org

Great news: Today, UC Health received the #COVID19 testing machine that I helped them secure. It can conduct 1,000+ tests a day. This will dramatically increase #coronavirus diagnostic testing capacity in SW #Ohio! — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The CARES Act established the employee retention credit to help ensure businesses that are closed, partially closed or otherwise negatively impacted by the #coronavirus pandemic are able to keep employees on the payroll. Learn more: https://t.co/g5I1Ck1qfX https://t.co/820Z6ca9d0 — PolitiTweet.org

Important Update: Social Security recipients do not need to take any additional steps (like filing a tax return) in order to receive the cash assistance authorized in the CARES Act. https://t.co/iqBzSmWYpH — PolitiTweet.org

Truly inspired by the dedication of #Ohio Dr. Mary Krebs, who used her laptop to remotely consult 130 patients over two days while ill and nursing a 101-degree fever. God bless you, Dr. Krebs. https://t.co/URsk4c7Y62 — PolitiTweet.org

This is very promising - @AbbottNews has begun shipping their new #coronavirus test that delivers results in as little as 5 mins. My hats off to the team at Abbott. Excellent work! https://t.co/NkNNSeZezA — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I joined the entire Ohio congressional delegation in urging the @USDA to quickly approve Ohio’s request to operate the Disaster Household Distribution Program - which will help feed hungry families in times of national crisis, like the #coronavirus pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m working with Treasury and the IRS to ensure our seniors can get the relief they deserve from the CARES Act without having to complete a complicated tax filing process. We need to get this $ out to folks ASAP without any additional burden. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The CARES Act directs hundreds of billions of dollars to our national health care system to help it respond to the ongoing #coronavirus crisis. This will make a huge difference in our fight against this virus. https://t.co/5M8EOKecXV — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for promptly approving Ohio’s major disaster declaration request. This will enable us to access billions in much-needed federal funds and resources to combat the #coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/6hWTWVKHTF — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Senate must be able to carry out its constitutional duty in times of national crisis, like the ongoing #coronavirus pandemic. It's the 21st century. We have the technological capability to vote remotely. We should utilize it. https://t.co/vKgk9KEmcA — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Spoke w/ WCPO about helping UC health acquire a new machine which is capable of processing more than a thousand #COVID19 diagnostic tests a day. SW Ohio was in desperate need for more testing, and this vital machine will make a big difference. https://t.co/QrHmkyPWoR — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The #coronavirus pandemic has taken an especially tough toll on small businesses and mom & pop shops. That's why the CARES Act includes unprecedented measures to provide relief to small businesses and help them keep their employees on the payroll. https://t.co/LJjMt1MglL — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Every one of us has a critical role to play in slowing the spread of #coronavirus and saving lives. We are in this together & we will beat this virus together. ➡️ Wash your hands ➡️ Practice social distancing ➡️ Stay at home if you feel sick https://t.co/dlsHb5kjEA — PolitiTweet.org
