Dear Friends,

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated contact tracing resources and released a toolkit for health departments.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a short video that explains the difference between COVID-19 diagnostic and antibody tests.

• The FDA launched a webpage especially for health care professionals with information on emergency use authorizations, personal protective equipment, and medical products.

Texas Updates
Texas hospitals will receive $8 million from the Assistant Secretary of Preparedness and Response to distribute for COVID-19 expenses through the Hospital Preparedness Program.

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

Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D.
