This month's Data Points highlight HRSA's survey data from health centers regarding their COVID-19 response. 
Testing capacity in Region X is 94% which is slightly above the National average of 89%. This has increased significantly since April, when the average was 88%.
​From early April to now, Region X’s ability to provide walk-up/drive-up testing has increased 12%. Region X is a 67% and the National Average is 57%. ​
​Region X has been using virtual visits to decrease risk of exposure while still being able to see patients. 47% of Region X health centers are utilizing telehealth services while the national average is 51%.
Region X averages for those unable to work is 12% and similar to the national average of 11%, Washington has been greatly impacted by furloughs.
Closures fluctuate as the weeks go by. As some health centers are not able to respond consistently during this difficult time, this remains difficult for Region X to assess the closures. Although the trend does seem to show that there are more health centers responding and fewer health centers have temporary closures.​
