Introduction
The National Indian Health Board is leading a national effort to advocate and secure resources for Tribes to respond to COVID-19. NIHB seeks to ensure that the Tribes remain informed on COVID 19, have the resources and assistance needed to respond to the pandemic, and that the Congress and Administration understand and address Tribal needs and priorities. NIHB also aims to create resources that will be informative and helpful to Tribes and Tribal members. NIHB believes that this coordinated national response is part of its sacred mission to serve the Tribes and help maintain the safety and well-being of Tribal citizens.
Daily updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about tracking COVID 19 data in the United States can be found here. The maps, charts, and data provided by the CDC are updated Mon-Fri by 8 PM Eastern Time.
The CDC also provides an integrated, county view of key data for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States that can be found here.
NIHB is pleased to release a video message from our Board of Directors about the COVID-19 pandemic and NIHB’s advocacy and efforts to bring resources to Tribes during this difficult time.
