COVID-19 Resources and Research
Below is a running list of resources we have come across in our reopening research. We know it is hard to find sources that apply to your specific organization, so we have compiled a list of expert research and have separated these resources by category. If you come across anything we don’t have, we would love to share it! Please email us at director@praa.net with any suggestions you may have. Thanks!
