Situation Report | October 13, 2020

Registration is here for a NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) webinar on “Partnering with Health Care Facilities to Break the COVID-19 Chains of Transmission.”

This webinar, on October 22 from 11 a.m. to noon, will address the NYC Test and Trace Corps (TTC) and focus on a multi-pronged approach to stopping COVID-19:

  • Testing: Rapidly expanding COVID-19 testing to detect infections
  • Tracing: Identifying cases, tracing their contacts and recommending isolation or quarantine
  • Take Care: Connecting New Yorkers to resources to safely isolate or quarantine at home or in a hotel

Home care providers are asked to submit questions to Leeya Davis at ldavis5@health.nyc.gov prior to the webinar in order to assist in providing the most relevant information during the webinar.
