The text of The Heroes Act, H.R. 6800, is here. A one pager on the legislation is here. A section-by-section summary is here. A resource on the state and local relief provisions is here. Votes are expected in the House on Friday, though the leaders of the Progressive Caucus have written to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asking for more time to read through the bill before they vote. For a more in-depth briefing on the legislative landscape, please refer to the COVID-19 Legislative Update, which is published on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If you do not receive the Legislative Update and would like to subscribe, email [email protected] • COVID-19 hearings in Congress this week (memos will be available upon request): o Today . 10:00 AM – Senate HELP Hearing: "COVID-19: Safely Getting Back to Work and Back to School" . 2:30 PM – Senate Judiciary Hearing: “Examining liability during the COVID-19 pandemic” o Tomorrow . 10:00 AM – Senate Commerce Hearing: "The State of Broadband Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic" o Thursday . 10:00 AM – House Energy and Commerce Hearing: “Protecting Scientific Integrity in the COVID-19 Response” • The CDC has updated and added sections to its COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines including a new section on antithrombotic therapy. • The CDC continues to update and publish additional documents on its dashboard. Today, the CDC published updated information about what to do if your pet tests positive for COVID-19, interim guidance on unsheltered homelessness and COVID-19 for homeless service providers and local officials, new information for pediatric healthcare providers, and an air travel toolkit for airline partners. These are just a sampling of the many updates made each day by the CDC. • Yesterday, CMS Administrator Seema Verma wrote a letter to nursing home management and staff, sharing her gratitude for the workers as well as reiterating that the Administration is doing all it can to support them. • The FDA provided an update on surveillance inspections during COVID-19. In the update, the agency stated it will continue to utilize and implement additional alternative inspection tools and approaches while postponing domestic and foreign routine surveillance inspections. This will continue as local, national, and international conditions warrant, with the exception of certain mission critical inspections. • The FDA issued a warning letter to a company that was selling fraudulent COVID-19 products. Fusion Health and Vitality LLC recently offered products, including “CORE” and “IMMUNE SHOT,” for sale in the U.S. with claims that misleadingly represented the products as safe and/or effective for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. There are currently no FDA-approved products to prevent or treat COVID-19. • To help homeowners and renters have the most up to date and accurate housing assistance information, the CFPB, FHFA, and HUD launched the new mortgage and housing assistance website, cfpb.gov/housing. FHFA and HUD are offering CARES Act assistance and protection for Americans having trouble paying their mortgage or rent due to COVID-19. This joint website consolidates the CARES Act mortgage relief, protections for renters, resources for additional help, and information on how to avoid COVID-19 related scams. It also provides lookup tools for homeowners to determine if their mortgage is federally backed, and for renters to find out if their rental unit is financed by FHA, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac. Updates from the States • Out of the cases under investigation detected by U.S. surveillance, there are 1,342,594 total cases and 80,820 deaths The CDC data closes out the day before reporting. • Health officials in New York state are looking into approximately 100 cases of pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS), which causes life- threatening inflammation in critical organs. The illness is certainly not limited to New York state, and has been identified throughout the region and across the country. • Store customers in California, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have been arrested for refusing to follow guidelines mandating that they wear masks in public. • As states have begun to ease restrictions, a main COVID-19 model is now predicting nearly 150,000 deaths in the U.S., an increase of 10,000 from estimates this weekend. • Updates on lockdowns/reopening: o Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) gave an updated timeline for when the state will begin to reopen, mostly on May 25th. o Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) issued an executive order allowing specific localities in Northern Virginia to delay entering phase one of the "Forward Virginia" plan until May 28th. The whole state is expected to enter phase one on Friday, May 15th. o Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) has allowed Wahkiakum, Skamania, and Stevens counties to move into phase two of Gov. Inslee's Safe Start plan to reopen the economy and recreation. This brings the total to eight counties. o Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) announced additional phase one guidelines that will allow gyms and fitness studios, movie theaters, and museums the option to reopen beginning this Friday, so long as they adhere to strict guidelines limiting capacity, requiring social distancing, and imposing thorough sanitation requirements. o Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) announced today that seven counties in the central part of the state would be placed under strict measures due to increased rates of COVID-19. • Useful state data: o The NYT is tracking which states are reopening and which are still shut down. o These charts show cumulative coronavirus cases and deaths for metropolitan areas over time. o Use Johns Hopkins University’s COVID-19 U.S. map as a resource for media, policymakers and communities to view a collection of critical public health data in one online destination and better understand and track the COVID-19 pandemic in populations both large and small across the country. o NASHP has developed a COVID-19 State Action Center which serves as a state-level policy dashboard. Governing is also keeping a running tally of coronavirus news and impacts at the intersection of the health and economic crises in the states and localities. o This site from the Kaiser Family Foundation provides state-level information on cases/deaths, social distancing measures, health policy actions, and more. o This resource from Bloomberg Law is a database of State Quarantine and Public Health Laws related to the COVID-19 response. o This series of maps shows how states are responding to COVID-19, and this tracker, created and maintained by MultiState Associates, has an up- to-date list of executive orders and various travel restrictions. o Finally, this site offers COVID-19 projections assuming full social distancing and can be broken down by state. Military/Defense • The Senate Armed Services Committee will not begin deliberations on the National Defense Authorization Act until at least June 10, when subcommittee markups are scheduled to begin. o The House Armed Services Committee, meanwhile, has not rescheduled markups that were also postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. • Two Army hospital centers dispatched to New York City at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic are being ordered home as the region sees improving conditions. • The Army has cancelled ROTC Cadet Summer Training due to concerns over COVID-19. • DoD awarded a $138M contract with ApiJect Systems America for two projects that will create a U.S.-based, high-speed supply chain for prefilled syringes to be used when a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available. • The VA received 500,000 protective masks from South Korea as a symbol of “the appreciation of the Korean people who have never forgotten the American veterans’ service and sacrifice” nearly 70 years ago in the Korean War. International Affairs • Countries around the world have seen increases in numbers of reported cases as they ease social distancing restrictions. • The UK will begin reopening tomorrow with Step 1 of its three phase plan. Most restrictions will remain in place, but a few will be eased. • Russia is now reporting the second highest number of COVID-19 cases in the world behind the U.S. They now have over 232,000 cases. • Iceland is anticipated to lift travel restrictions in mid-June. Travelers are expected to have to choose between taking a COVID-19 test or quarantining for two weeks once arriving. • The Canadian government is looking at administering questionnaires, using contact tracing apps, taking temperatures, and performing medical history checks on individuals who enter the country from the U.S. • Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a $260 billion economic rescue package, but did not provide many details beyond that it would help all classes of business, from farms and laborers to big companies. • Following the emergence of a new cluster of cases in Wuhan, China, all residents have been ordered to get tested for COVID-19 in the next 10 days. • In Uruguay, crew members from the COVID-19-infected cruise ship "Greg Mortimer" have been allowed to disembark after almost two months at sea.

  • Health Services COVID-19 Situation Report 01.15.2021
    Dear Community Members, We welcome 2021 with the arrival of vaccines in the fight to defeat COVID-19. Just as we have been pushing for adoption of the precautions we all know work to include masking, hand hygiene and physical distancing, we must also push for high rates of vaccination within our communities if we hope to overcome this virus. This will require trust in the COVID vaccination process, from the development, distribution and administration of a safe and effective vaccine as well as willingness to get vaccinated. Our hope is simple, we urge you to get the COVID-19 vaccine and share your experience with others. Several new variants of the virus causing COVID-19 have been reported, including one in the United Kingdom (UK), one in South Africa and one from Brazil. As of 1/10/2021, cases of the UK variant have been confirmed in multiple regions of the United States and Canada. None have yet been found in Alaska. CDC is monitoring the new variants and encouraging states to do more sequencing (sampling positive specimens to identify variant). The Alaska State Public Health Laboratories routinely sequence a subset of positive tests including all that contain the pattern associated with the UK strain. These variants seem to spread more easily and quickly than other variants, which may lead to more cases of COVID-19. Currently, there is no evidence that these variants cause more severe illness or increased risk of death. However, an increase in the number of cases will put more strain on health care resources, lead to more hospitalizations, and potentially more deaths.
