Abstract: This data collection is submitted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic by CDC to allow the development of tools that will serve a variety of purposes throughout the remainder of the emergency response. These activities will include filling gaps in knowledge around COVID-19 case characteristics, infection rate, point prevalence in people experiencing homelessness, risks for severe illness or adverse outcomes among pregnant individuals and their newborns, and risk factors for severe illness. The Intended use of the resulting data is to inform guidance on COVID-19.

Emergency Justfication: This Emergency Request is submitted for a bundle of epidemiologic tools that will help CDC’s efforts to slow and stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Some of the data collection instruments for which OMB approval is sought were initially approved under OMB control no. 0920-1011 (exp. date 4/23/2020). This ICR will continue those forms’ clearance and add additional tools. The 0920-1011 gen-IC approved in January 2020 (exp. date 4/23/2020) included three data collection instruments: (1) COVID-19 case report form, whose data elements have been inherited by the NNDSS ICR (0920-0728); (2) persons under investigation form, which has been discontinued; and (3) a household transmission questionnaire, which is included in this ICR to extend its OMB clearance. As CDC’s response to the pandemic evolved over the last 90 days, the OMB-approved forms from the 0920-1011 gen-IC were repurposed for the ongoing studies and uses described in this ICR. The purpose of this ICR is to bring these new collections into compliance.
