Markey (D-MA) y Tina Smith (D-MN) para introducir el <i>Ley del Cuerpo de Contenci\u00f3n del Coronavirus<\/i>, que crear\u00eda una fuerza laboral federal de rastreo de contactos y har\u00eda que los estadounidenses desempleados vuelvan a trabajar en sus comunidades.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEste virus mortal ha matado a m\u00e1s de 400,000 estadounidenses y ha costado a millones m\u00e1s sus trabajos y medios de subsistencia. Necesitamos hacer todo lo que podamos para contener este virus, al mismo tiempo que creamos trabajos que se pueden hacer de manera segura\u201d. <b>dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cEs por eso que contratar a m\u00e1s estadounidenses para cerrar la escasez cr\u00edtica de rastreadores de contactos es una ganancia de sentido com\u00fan que debe incluirse en el pr\u00f3ximo paquete de alivio del coronavirus\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>La introducci\u00f3n sigue los m\u00faltiples esfuerzos de Merkley y sus colegas en el Caucus Dem\u00f3crata en 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/es\/news\/press-releases\/democratic-senators-push-for-proposal-including-merkley-bills-to-establish-national-response-to-covid-19-and-invest-in-frontline-health-care-workers-2020\/\">para impulsar los esfuerzos de rastreo de contactos<\/a>. M\u00e1s recientemente, esa lucha incluy\u00f3 un impulso para aumentar la capacidad de rastreo de contactos en la legislaci\u00f3n de alivio que se aprob\u00f3 en diciembre, lo que podr\u00eda haber ayudado a reducir la explosi\u00f3n de infecciones despu\u00e9s de la temporada navide\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<p>Los rastreadores de contactos son m\u00e1s importantes que nunca para los esfuerzos por comprender completamente y detener en tiempo real nuevas variantes del virus. Tambi\u00e9n estar\u00e1n en una posici\u00f3n \u00fanica para brindar apoyo de divulgaci\u00f3n de vacunas a medida que haya m\u00e1s disponibles. Pero desde la Gran Recesi\u00f3n,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2020\/04\/05\/deficit-public-health-workers-no-way-to-fight-covid-19\/\"> Se han perdido aproximadamente 50,000 empleos de salud p\u00fablica, incluidos los puestos de rastreo de contactos.<\/a>, y los departamentos de salud p\u00fablica est\u00e1n severamente desfinanciados.<\/p>\n<p>El Cuerpo de Contenci\u00f3n de Coronavirus cubrir\u00eda esa escasez y ayudar\u00eda a frenar las infecciones financiando y dirigiendo a las agencias de fuerza laboral en la contrataci\u00f3n y gesti\u00f3n de equipos de rastreadores de contactos. Adem\u00e1s de la presentaci\u00f3n independiente de hoy, los legisladores piden que la legislaci\u00f3n se incluya en el pr\u00f3ximo paquete de respuesta al COVID-19 del Congreso.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley teamed up with Representative Andy Levin (D-MI) and U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Edward J.
