Cat B Guidance for Coronovirus.pdf

The document provides information on various federal programs authorized to assist states in addressing the COVID-19 outbreak, including a significant allocation to the CDC for preparedness and response activities. It mentions that funding is generally focused on public health functions like epidemiology, surveillance, monitoring travelers, laboratory capacity, testing surge, case identification, lab equipment supplies, and shipping. The guidance emphasizes that eligible activities funded through other federal sources should be claimed through those programs to prevent duplication of benefits. Additionally, it mentions the availability of Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance for certain costs, with limitations on what expenses can be charged to the grant.
