MRC Network,
Thank you for continuing to share your unit’s COVID-19
activities with your regional liaisons and for reporting in the online system.
As of this week, approximately 300 state and/or local MRC units have reported
engagement with response activities – that’s roughly 36%
of the national network.
Units continue to support a wide range of missions,
including a sustained focus over the past several weeks on contact tracing,
testing, and surge support for vulnerable populations (for example, patients in
long-term care/skilled nursing facilities and individuals in homeless
shelters). We’ve updated the COVID-19
Resources for MRC Units document to include a resources
section for each of these missions as units continue to plan and support
related efforts. Again, please let us know at MRCcontact@hhs.gov if there is a particular section or resource that
you think would be helpful to add.
Also, the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training and
Education Center (NETEC) has been hosting a series of COVID-19 webinars
covering a range of topics (all archived on the NETEC
website). Their webinar scheduled for 1:00 pm (ET)
today, May 15, is focused on rapid ambulatory COVID-19 testing. Registration is required.
Thank you,
Esmeralda
Esmeralda Pereira

Reserve Corps (MRC) Program
