Background: The primary mission of the Communicable Disease Branch (CDB) is to reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from communicable diseases that are a significant threat to the public through detection, investigation, testing, treatment, tracking, control, education, and care activities to improve the health of people in North Carolina. Infection prevention and control is an important component of these efforts as it offers the opportunity to reduce the morbidity and mortality of communicable diseases, and to prevent some infections entirely. Strong infection prevention knowledge, preparedness, and practices are key to protecting the health and safety of North Carolina’s most vulnerable residents during this pandemic. The “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the “CARES Act” of 2020 established the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund. U.S. Treasury has made payments from the Fund to States and eligible units of local government; the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories (the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands); and Tribal governments (collectively “governments”). The CARES Act requires that the payments from the Coronavirus Relief Fund only be used to cover expenses that: • are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19); • were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date of enactment of the CARES Act) for the State or government; and • were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020 and ends on December 30, 2020. nbontrager@orangecountync.gov 919-245-2407 Natalie Bontrager DocuSign Envelope ID: 243DF0DA-4637-4259-B8AD-6D5E166FA19E 8/24/2020
