ASAP’s Corona Virus Helpline – Updated Daily
To help address concerns and questions arising in the field about the Corona virus, ASAP has created an e-mail resource to serve as a central communication vehicle. ASAP hosts Zoom meetings. Please note that ASAP continues to host calls every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 am – 9:45 am. All ASAP members and staff are welcome and encouraged to participate.

CoronaHelpLine@asapnys.org will be monitored by ASAP, used to identify questions and concerns, and will be a vehicle to directly respond to all e-mail questions. We have been encouraged to emphasize the importance of having a key contact person at your LOCAL county/city Department of Health to get current information or to respond to your questions and concerns. The ASAP e-mail is not a substitute for the immediate actions and communications that should take place locally. We are here to provide additional information and support.
