Set Testing and Objectives Plan for COVID-19 Act or the STOP COVID-19 Act

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a temporary grant program for local governments that have health departments to carry out testing, contact tracing, and other activities to reduce the spread of COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019). HHS may use unobligated funds from the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund for these grants.
