Testing and Patients
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) asked hospital administrators across the country to provide daily data reports on testing, capacity and utilization, and patient flows to support the public health response. Read the letter from HHS Secretary Azar to hospital administrators.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s COVID-19 Site provides dashboards, tools and references organized for ease of access, as well as up-to-date statistics from a variety of economic sectors. The additional datasets page offers a portal to a full range of public governmental, nonprofit and private sector data sources across recovery issues.
Argonne National Laboratory’s COVID-19 Impact Analyses Site
Argonne National Laboratory’s COVID-19 Impact Analyses Site provides several indices, data sources, and analytic insight to long-term recovery issues that states, localities, tribes, and territories continue to face because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The site includes analyses such as a County Economic Impact Index, State and Local Government Revenue Vulnerability Indices, Housing Stability Index, Internet Access Index, and the County High-level Economic Recovery and Resilience Index.
Right Help, Right Place, Right Time
FEMA worked with HHS and other partners to ensure limited supplies of critical protective and lifesaving equipment got to the right place, at the right time and in the right quantity. Getting equipment to areas that have high virus case counts and high fatality rates was the highest priority.
Prioritizing Where Supplies Go
We worked with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council to prioritize where the federal government and private sector companies distributed critical supplies and equipment.
Federal personnel, healthcare officials and the public health sector used the latest CDC guidance and data to provide expert recommendations on priority locations.
