CISA Partners and Stakeholders:
There have been several recent releases of guidance and other updates and wanted to make sure our stakeholders were aware.
Specifically, the following updates that can be found at www.CISA.gov/coronavirus.
- The CDC and CISA released this week two important informational products: Interim Guidance for Implementing Safety Practices for Critical Infrastructure Workers Who May Have Had Exposure to a Person with Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 and a quick reference of the Do’s and Don’ts for employers and employees related to COVID-19 exposures.
- The UK and CISA published a joint advisory on cybercriminals and advanced persistent threat groups are targeting individuals and organizations with a range of ransomware and malware and the assessment includes indicators or compromise and guidance on how to decrease the risk of cyber attacks.
- A Frequently Referenced Contact Information section to advertise the various avenues to access information including previous recordings of the Tuesday/Thursday CISA ESF 14 Broad Stakeholder calls.

As a reminder we continue to hold a business and infrastructure partners call concerning the COVID-19 every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:00pm Eastern. The teleconference includes an overview of the current situation, a discussion on supply chain issues, updates from available regions or sectors, and concludes with an open forum for questions and information sharing. These calls will occur twice weekly until further notice and are intended for broad distribution and participation (no media).
