Washington, April 22 (RHC)-- The U.S. Treasury Department has announced it is providing nearly $3 billion in payroll support for airlines. The Los Angeles Times reported at least 15 airline workers died from the coronavirus over a nine-day period earlier this month, but the true number is likely much higher, and there is no central tracking mechanism for COVID fatalities.
Airline workers were previously barred from wearing face masks as the outbreak spread in earlier weeks, and some say they were kept in the dark about colleagues who contracted the virus.
