Prior to executing contracts, it was hard to find testing sites and it was a challenge to keep up with the volume. Some tests in early days were not effective, but have improved since that time.]]> 2023-03-23 21:12:53 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/x7uikgofbjbfues2/wish/2529474552 Skepticism about Covid navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/x7uikgofbjbfues2/wish/2529476581 In particular in rural areas, there was some skepticism and mistrust about PCR tests, whether covid was "real."
Some challenges with security at test sites. Some testing/vaccine co-located sites caused some staffing and security concerns. National Guard helped diffuse security concerns.]]> 2023-03-23 21:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/x7uikgofbjbfues2/wish/2529476581 Partnership Engagement navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/x7uikgofbjbfues2/wish/2529477373 Developed partnership with community leaders and community service organizations.

Once grant expires, staffing will no longer be available. It would be good to be able to find a way to fund staff that have demonstrated their ongoing value. Documenting activities that extra staff have been able to accomplish would be helpful to show that they should be kept for non-emergency activities as well.]]> 2023-03-23 21:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/x7uikgofbjbfues2/wish/2529480782 Staff Burn Out navisstrategicservicesllc https://padlet.com/navisstrategicservicesllc/x7uikgofbjbfues2/wish/2529482441 Staff pressure, stress, fatigue, dealing with criticism from public and media.
