Survey to Identify the General Status of Supplies Associated with Testing for COVID-19
The Self-Governance Communication & Education Tribal Consortium (SGCETC), a non-profit tribal organization governed by a Tribal Board of Directors, requests your assistance.
Over the last week, we have increasingly heard concerns about the lack of access to supplies associated with collecting the samples for COVID-19 testing and a need for increased access to a limited number of public and private labs that analyze the tests.
To be more effective in our efforts to relay your needs and challenges to those that can potentially assist in getting additional resources, we want to ensure our requests for assistance are as clear and direct as possible. In addition, by periodically surveying your supply need priorities over the next few weeks, we can determine if current shortages are being resolved and if other supplies are moving into a category of concern for supply shortages. Please note that this is a very limited survey specifically related to supplies generally associated with the collection of samples needed for COVID-19 analysis.
SGCETC will secure all survey results and will NOT share individual results without the written permission of the Tribal Nation. Our analysis and communication related to the results will not identify specific Tribes or Clinics. If you have questions regarding the purpose or safeguarding of information, please contact Jay Spaan, Executive Director, at jays@tribalselfgov.org or 918-370-4258.
