This amendment provides $34.5 million the second year from the federal Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (ELC) funds for COVID-19 testing and contact tracing in state institutions of higher education. The state recently received notice of additional ELC funds which were provided through the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act (P.L. 116-123). Language is added directing the Virginia Department of Health to include this activity in its plan to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Funding not used by June 30, 2022 may be reallocated for other planned uses.
