Appletree COVID-19 Supplemental Award Project
In early 2021, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), with support from CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), announced awards to five state health agencies to support their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. State health agencies in Kentucky, Virginia, Arkansas, Vermont, and Indiana were selected for this opportunity because of their recent application to ATSDR’s Partnership to Promote Local Efforts to Reduce Environmental Exposure (APPLETREE) cooperative agreement program. Vermont requested that ASTHO work directly with their partner organization, Informed Green Solutions (IGS), for this project. The following materials were developed or customized as part of this project:
- Environmental Health COVID-19 ECE Assessment Form
- Infection Control in the Time of COVID-19 Reducing Environmental Exposures in Schools Presentation
- Green Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfecting Toolkit for Early Care and Education Presentation
- Cleaning for Health in Schools Assessment Form and Report Template
- Disinfectants Comparison Chart
