Schumer unveiled his two-pronged plan to ramp up testing availability and domestic production of PPE, including N-95 masks, with the help of Upstate New York’s small businesses. First, Schumer demanded that the department of Health and Human Services release the $9 billion for testing they are sitting on that Schumer secured for a national, coordinated, and robust testing regime. Second, Schumer revealed the <i>Protect Our Heroes Act of 2020</i>, which provides $11 billion for the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) to purchase critical PPE like N-95 masks and to support small businesses in expanding domestic production of critical PPE. Specifically, the legislation provides $1 billion in federal, Small Business Administration (SBA) grants for small businesses to retool domestic facilities to produce critical PPE over the next two years. Schumer also said he intends to continue fighting for rural communities, like Lewis County, across Upstate New York as the possibility of a second wave emerges and as a COVID relief deal continues to be negotiated.</p>"}}
