U.S. Senator Jerry Moran joined the University of Kansas Health System on Friday morning for their daily media update regarding Covid-19.

 

Moran discussed the recently passed federal relief package, the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act, which included an additional $320 billion for PPP, $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for testing.

 

Moran says that despite the money coming in for testing, there's still a long way to go.

 

Other participants on the panel with Sen. Moran included Medical Director of Post-Acute Continuum of Care Dr. Jessica Kalender-Rich, Chief Medical Officer for the University of Kansas Health System Dr. Steve Stites and the Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Control Dr. Dana Hawkinson.

 

One of the biggest concerns that surrounds the spread of the Coronavirus is the effects in Nursing Homes and Long Term Care Facilities.

 

Dr. Jessica Kalender-Rich acknowledges the strain on our Nursing Homes and Long Term Care facilities and they are doing everything they can to keep those residents safe.
