Dear Friends,

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published interim guidelines for COVID-19 antibody testing.

  • The CDC updated the guidance for preventing the spread of COVID-19 in retirement communities and independent living facilities.
  • The CDC also released guidance for communities of faith as they begin re-opening.

A coalition that includes The MITRE Corporation and Microsoft launched “The Fight Is In Us” to help recruit individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 who want to donate their blood plasma.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released updated guidance to Medicare Advantage Organizations, Part D sponsors, and Medicare-Medicaid plans regarding Part D cost sharing.

Texas Update
Texas Department of State Health Services updated guidance documents for churches, retailers, water parks, and adult recreational sports.

Until next time, this is your doctor's note.
