9) Provide technical assistance resources to help businesses to mitigate the operation risk (through automation or remotely), for sustainability and success. 

10) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Supply Chain Logistics 

According to The New York Times:

Businesses Reopening

Opening safely during a pandemic, and being able to stay open, requires planning carefully — and usually spending significant amounts of money, to pay for testing, cleaning, and new social-distancing procedures.

PPE Shortage on the Frontlines

Front-line medical workers are facing a problem many had hoped would be resolved by now: a shortage of respirator masks, isolation gowns, and disposable gloves.

Schools Reopening

Across the political spectrum, there have been calls for the reopening of U.S. schools this fall. And understandably so: Remote learning went very badly in the spring. An autumn without in-person school would leave students further behind and leave many parents without child care again.

The U.S., by contrast, is suffering through by far the worst coronavirus outbreak of any affluent country, and the federal government has done little to help schools reopen.

Paul Romer, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, told me that reopening U.S. schools was feasible — but would require huge amounts of additional testing, as well as mask-wearing, social distancing, and keeping windows open.

 Urgent care centers (UCCs) are being left out of the COVID-19 testing conversation on a national, state, and local level. UCCs are already set up for walk-in patients, have staff experienced in safe diagnostic testing and many are open nights and weekends. At 10,000 strong and represented in all 50 states, urgent care can play a substantial role in testing and ultimately vaccinations. UCA and the Urgent Care Foundation (UCF) have been collecting urgent care testing capability from UCCs across the country.  (Source: UCA)
