Using Personal Protective Equipment (Videos) – Before caring for patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19, healthcare personnel must receive comprehensive training on when and what Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is necessary, how to don (put on) and doff (take off) PPE, limitations of PPE, and proper care, maintenance, and disposal of PPE. To learn how to safely put on and take off personal protective equipment, please watch CDC’s donning and doffing sequence video.



COVID-19Surge – COVID-19Surge is a spreadsheet-based tool that hospital administrators and public health officials can use to estimate the surge in demand for hospital-based services during the COVID-19 pandemic.



COVID-NET – The Coronavirus Disease 2019-Associated Hospitalization Surveillance Network (COVID-NET) conducts population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in children (persons younger than 18 years) and adults. Data presented on COVID-19-associated hospitalizations collected through COVID-NET are preliminary and subject to change as additional data are collected. Figures are based on varying denominators as selected variables may require more time to be collected. Data are refreshed and updated weekly.
