Coronavirus Response Efforts — March 16th Update
Testing & Assessments
We have assessed over 1,900 people virtually through our Coronavirus Assessment Tool since late last week successfully keeping the worried well out of our clinics and treating them virtually. We have also been actively collecting specimens in all of our California clinics since March 6th and have tested 293 people already. Response times seem to be around 3–6 days but we have only received 15% of the results thus far so we will know more soon.
Localization
In an effort to support all of the communities which we served we have expanded all of our Coronavirus related materials to Spanish.
More languages will be coming soon. It’s not perfect yet, but we will improve it every day.
Nationwide Testing Center Locations
We’re building a list of all COVID-19 testing centers, we plan to launch a searchable page for it tomorrow. If you want to contribute content, add it here. We will vet new entries and publish them daily to the searchable database as well as to our assessment tool to ease the difficulty of finding testing centers.
Prioritizing Care
We’re rescheduling all non-essential primary care visits through April 7th. Our primary care staff will help in our Coronavirus assessment, testing, and treatment efforts.
That’s it for today, we have many initiatives going on in parallel and there will be more to come in the upcoming days.
I also want to thank everyone who reached out to help/volunteer. Please keep it coming and email us at covidresponse@carbonhealth.com
