The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced they will be awarding $186 million in supplemental funding to go towards the COVID-19 outbreak. The focus of this funding is for regions that have a high number of COVID-19 cases. Some examples of how this funding can be used include: staffing and surge staffing; lab equipment; and infection control.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently made the decision to adopt a $200 million telehealth program that will help support health care providers and patients responding to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This $200 million was appropriated as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Through this COVID-19 Telehealth Program, the FCC will assist health care providers to purchase telecommunications, broadband connectivity, and devices necessary for providing telehealth services. The applications for funding submitted by health care providers will be processed on a rolling basis.
