Anyone who returns to work has to wear a face covering, the agency says, but it may not have enough for every employee. The House Ways and Means Committee called the move "completely irresponsible."

The $2 trillion response legislation Congress approved late last month calls for the Government Accountability Office to monitor the spending and the overall federal response to the pandemic.

The Government Accountability Office oversees the federal response to the pandemic. President Trump has blocked other oversight attempts, but it will be difficult for him to stop the GAO.

Pete Gaynor has extensive experience at the local and state level dealing with natural disasters, but he faces something different now.

The president claimed "total" authority, per unnamed constitutional provisions. Experts remind him he is not a king, and cite Articles I, II, III; the 10th Amendment; and the Founding Fathers.

In a report, the agency said a nationwide pandemic would result in a shortage of medical supplies, hospitals would be overwhelmed and the economy would shut down.

Mail volume is way down, and the U.S. Postal Service is running out of cash. Advocates want Congress to provide additional funding in the next rescue package.

President Trump has raised the idea of placing residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut under a quarantine to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Can he do that? Experts say: not really.

President Trump floated ordering a quarantine in the Northeast, and there are calls for a national stay-at-home order. But the president's powers are limited.

Russia and Saudi Arabia have been engaged in a price war that has driven world oil prices down dramatically.

The coronavirus pandemic has incubated many rumors, from suggestions that a national lockdown is being planned to military deployments. FEMA is trying to dispel these myths through a website.

"Do not believe the disinformation campaigns," Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf tweeted. "Please do not pass it along. Use trusted local and federal government sources."

The White House has announced a flurry of actions it says are making a difference against the coronavirus pandemic, but a closer look finds some aren't what they seem and others remain to be executed.

The former U.S. envoy to the U.N. said she "cannot support a move to lean on the federal government for a stimulus."

The White House is asking Congress to approve billions for agencies and programs across the federal government. Here's a breakdown of what each agency would get.

The agency is best known for coordinating aid after natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. But responding to the coronavirus pandemic is a very different job.

Federal workers want to be able to telework during the coronavirus pandemic. While the Trump administration says it's encouraging it, in practice it's not so clear federal agencies are.

The White House task force announced stricter recommendations for at least the next 15 days to stop the spread of the pandemic.

In a series of tweets, President Trump faulted former President Barack Obama's response to the H1N1 pandemic 11 years ago as his own administration faces scrutiny for its handling of the coronavirus.

The move frees up as much as $50 billion to help states deal with the crisis. But Trump overstated the readiness of a website to help anxious people find testing.
