BPHC Bulletin: COVID-19 Progress Reporting Due July 10

• Reporting Emerging Hotspots
  As mentioned in a bulletin earlier this week, we’re asking Primary Care Associations (PCAs) to report on emerging hotspots by county and we encourage you to notify your PCA if you observe an increase in positive COVID-19 test results.
  
  We also encourage you to include this information in your response to question 16 of the weekly survey: Please identify (by county or other local public health jurisdictions) and discuss emerging hot spots (i.e., significant increases in positive COVID‐19 tests).
  
  If you need help completing the survey, check out our COVID-19 Data Collection Survey Tool User Guide.

• Considerations for Health Center Scope of Project and the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency
  We’ve consolidated existing information about scope of project as it relates to the COVID-19 public health emergency onto a single webpage. It does not include any new guidance. Instead, it provides a single place for resources about scope of project and COVID-19.
  
  As a reminder, we continually update our COVID-19 FAQ webpage and our page for coronavirus-related funding FAQs. Our COVID-19 Information for Health Centers and Partners webpage now includes links to Provider Relief Fund FAQs/resources.
  
  Visit our Technical Assistance Calendar for upcoming sessions related to COVID-19 and other important topics.
  
  

Happy July 4^th!
We hope you enjoy the holiday weekend! Thank you for all you do to keep Americans healthy and able to celebrate with their families.
