There are more than 45 sites in Montgomery County where residents can get tested for COVID-19, including County-operated and privately operated clinics. There will be County-operated testing at 14 clinics on the upcoming schedule.
Testing at County clinics is free, does not require a doctor’s referral and is available by making advance appointments or on a walk-up basis. Reservations can be made online at www.MoCoCOVIDtesting.org.

 We are excited that our masked Vok president, Mike Landa (upper right hand corner) was featured in a flyer promoting Good Neighbor Day that appeared in The Washington Post. To learn more about this initiative, visit ​https://www.nationalgoodneighborday.com/

The federal Department of Health and Human Services is asking providers to be on the lookout for postcards from the "Secretary of Compliance" in the "HIPAA Compliance Division" at federal DHHS. The postcard asks the recipient to call, email, or visit a website that's supposedly about HIPAA compliance.

These postcards are fake and are part of an apparent phishing campaign. You should simply just ignore them and toss them. These postcards are not from any federal agency. 

I'm sending this out to everyone because we work with many partners that might think the postcard is legitimate. Please feel free to share this broadly.   

This is what the fake postcard looks like the image below.

Again, if anyone receives this postcard, the only thing to do is to just throw it away. There's a lot of anxiety in the world right now. Nobody needs more of it.

Let me know if you have any questions. I've included the security alert email from federal DHHS below. ​
