Abstract: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requests a NEW 3-year approval for a information collection titled: COVID-19 Pandemic Response, Laboratory Data Reporting (0920-1299). This project was initially approved as an EMERGENCY, but the current submission will only include what CDC plans to do going forward. Ensuring a rapid and thorough public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates comprehensive laboratory testing data. These data contribute to understanding disease incidence and trends: initiating epidemiology case investigations, assisting with contact tracing, assessing availability and use of testing resources, and identifying supply chain issues for reagents and other material. Laboratory testing data, in conjunction with case reports and other data, also provide vital guidance for mitigation and control activities.
