Mnuchin tweeted that paper checks will begin to go out Wednesday. President Donald Trump s push for bigger $2,000 COVID-19 relief checks stalled out in the Senate as Republicans blocked a swift vote proposed by Democrats and split within their own ranks over whether to boost spending or defy the White House.

On a day when Greene County led the region in the number of new COVID-19 cases and had two new deaths attributed to the virus, a local mask mandate was extended through Feb. 27.
Greene County Mayor Kevin Morrison signed an extension of the mask mandate on Monday that is in effect until 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 27. Morrison issued the original executive order implementing the mask mandate in July, and it has been extended five times.
The mask mandate requires the wearing of an infection control mask or other quality cloth facial covering by all residents, visitors, employees and/or patrons of all Greene County businesses, industry, restaurants, retail stores, organizations and/or venues. Masks are to be worn in all environments, especially in public where there is general public activity such as shopping in which large groups may congregate and close, prolonged contact between persons is likely and social distancing cannot be maintained.
