CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) SITUATIONAL REPORT #126 SEPTEMBER 09, 2020
DAILY HIGHLIGHTS Globally, COVID-19 cases have surpassed 27.48 million with more than 894,000 deaths. The total number of cases in the U.S. increased from 6,287,362 as reported on Tuesday 9/8/2020 to 6,310,663 reported today. The number of deaths in the U.S. increased from 188,688 to 189,147.
The March 2020 CARES Act recognized that tribal governments are confronting extraordinary demands parallel to those faced by state and local governments. As Congress returns from their summer recess to debate additional coronavirus relief packages, the Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center and the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development will host a diverse panel of Congressional and tribal leaders to look ahead and discuss how Congress might come together on a bipartisan basis to enhance support for Indian Country’s pandemic recovery efforts. This event will take place September 17, 12:00 PM EST. Register for the event HERE.
Legislation took effect 8/31/2020 that protects many Californians who are unable to pay their rent or mortgage because of the COVID-19 pandemic. View new housing relief HERE.
On Monday, August 31, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson announced that HUD has awarded a total of $100 million to Tribes across the Nation as part of HUD’s Indian Community Development Block Grant Imminent Threat program (ICDBG-CARES). This funding helps address problems that pose an imminent threat to public health or safety of Tribal residents and will be used to help Tribes prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19. See list of funding HERE.
UNITED STATES COVID-19: U.S. at a Glance* • Total cases: 6,310,663 • Total deaths: 189,147 • Jurisdictions reporting cases: 55 (50 states, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands)
*As of April 14, 2020, CDC case counts and death counts include both confirmed and probable cases and deaths. This change was made to reflect an interim COVID-19 position statement issued by the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists on April 5, 2020. The position statement included a case definition and made COVID-19 a nationally notifiable disease.
A confirmed case or death is defined by meeting confirmatory laboratory evidence for COVID-19.
A probable case or death is defined by: i) meeting clinical criteria AND epidemiologic evidence with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID-19; or ii) meeting presumptive laboratory evidence AND either clinical criteria OR epidemiologic evidence; or iii) meeting vital records criteria with no confirmatory laboratory testing performed for COVID19. State and local public health departments are now testing and publicly reporting their cases. In the event of a discrepancy between CDC cases and cases reported by state and local public health officials, data reported by states should be considered the most up to date.
