Submitted by mike kraft on
CDC Director Robert Redfield and HHS Chief Information Officer Jose Arrieta provided an update for the media on HHS efforts to gather and disseminate real-time hospital data on COVID-19. Below are their statements as prepared for delivery.(July, 15, 2020.)
(Editors note: This news conference was held in response to reports that the administration was requiring that COVID-19 dfata be submitted directly to HHS, instead of the CDC.)

"We at CDC know that the lifeblood of public health is data. Collecting and disseminating that data as rapidly as possible is our top priority, and the reason for the policy change we’re discussing today.
As many of you know, CDC operates a system called the National Health Safety Network. This is an important surveillance system in our nation’s hospitals, which focuses on fighting antibiotic resistance.

At the city and state levels, testing delays could mask persistent rises in case numbers and could cloud ways to combat the coronavirus, as health officials continue to find themselves one step behind the virus’s rapid and often silent spread, experts said.
