FCC's COVID-19 Telehealth Program Deadline Extended to Dec. 31

The FCC Wireline Bureau extended to Dec. 31 the Wednesday deadline for COVID-19 telehealth program funding recipients to buy eligible devices and implement eligible services to address the pandemic, said the bureau Monday in docket 20-89. Participants needing an extension have cited the time needed to complete "procurement steps" required by their states and delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or by recent hurricanes, it said.
