Tracking COVID-19

Government can’t shut down operations due to the pandemic that’s sweeping the country, but it’s forcing some creativity. Here’s a list of resources we compiled – things like telework policies, local response efforts, official guidance and up-to-date information dashboards to keep readers in the know.

Additional resources are linked in this news report, including the COVID-19 Tracker, which offers up-to-date numbers on tests administered, and confirmed cases. GT also mapped the dedicated coronavirus websites that have been established in all 50 states, along with known cases, state by state. These stories will be updated once daily.

Virus Advances Online Education

In addition to testing the capabilities of remote work in the private and the public sectors, the shift to online learning options across the country is taxing the technical resources of educational institutions across the board. One blogger for GT’s education site calls COVID-19 a “watershed moment” that could effectively move the needle on online education.

Pandemic Surfaces New Cyberthreats

In another lesson about the opportunism of online criminals, hackers targeted the federal Health and Human Service Agency last weekend, in an attempt to disrupt the agency’s ability to lead coronavirus response efforts. Officials reported, however, that the attempt was unsuccessful. In other cybernews, the state of California is considering a proposal to require its contractors to purchase cyberinsurance to help guard against the far-reaching effects of cyberattacks.
