United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that the lower chamber of Congress will pass the government's fourth coronavirus relief bill, worth $484 billion, on Thursday, April 23, APA reports citing MSNBC.

She revealed that $25 billion from the aid package will be allocated to coronavirus testing. "Without testing, we can't evaluate our progress," Pelosi underlined.

The House speaker also criticized President Donald Trump, who has been "attacking governors" and "misleading the public with false information." Trump "is doing a terrible job of managing" the pandemic, Pelosi concluded.
