Health Departments: Interim Guidance on Developing a COVID-19 Case Investigation & Contact Tracing Plan
From the Introduction: "Case investigation is the identification and investigation of patients with confirmed and probable diagnoses of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019], and contact tracing is the subsequent identification, monitoring, and support of their contacts who have been exposed to, and possibly infected with, the virus. Prompt identification, voluntary quarantine (hereby referred to as 'self-quarantine' in this document unless otherwise noted), and monitoring of these COVID-19 contacts can effectively break the chain of disease transmission and prevent further spread of the virus in a community. While case investigation and contact tracing for COVID-19 may be new, health departments and frontline public health professionals who perform these activities have experience conducting these activities for tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections, HIV, and other infectious diseases."

Framework for Healthcare Systems Providing Non-COVID-19 Clinical Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic
From the Background: "At the onset of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] recommended that healthcare systems prioritize urgent visits and delay elective care to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in healthcare settings. A consequence of the pandemic has been the under-utilization of important medical services for patients with non-COVID-19-related urgent and emergent health needs . As the pandemic continues, healthcare systems must balance the need to provide necessary services while minimizing risk to patients and healthcare personnel (HCP). Because the effects of COVID-19 vary among communities, healthcare systems will also need to consider the local level of COVID-19 transmission when making decisions about the provision of medical services. This document provides a framework for the delivery of non-COVID clinical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the dynamic nature of the pandemic, considerations may change over time and vary by practice type and setting."

Factors to Consider When Planning to Purchase Respirators from Another Country, Including KN95 Respirators from China
From the Document: "When a respirator has been approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the user can be confident that the device will provide he expected level of protection. as long as it fits properly and is worn correctly. [...] When possible, NIOSH recommends the use of NIOSH-approved reusable elastomeric respirators and powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) as alternatives to FFRs (filtering facepiece respirators). When a facility still needs additional FFRs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have determined that other options may be appropriate to protect workers during the pandemic. One of these options is to purchase respirators that meet the regulatory requirements of the countries listed in the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). However, due to the current demand, buyers should be aware that an unprecedented number of products on the market do not perform as advertised. The three most common 'pitfall' scenarios include: 1. Documents are altered so FFR models appear to comply with a particular standard, but they do not. 2. Certification marks are counterfeit. 3. Manufacturers' names, logos, and model numbers are counterfeit."
