Wireline Bureau Extends COVID-19 Telehealth Round 2 Deadlines

The FCC Wireline Bureau extended until Oct. 31 the deadline for COVID-19 telehealth program round two recipients to purchase eligible devices and services, said a public notice Friday in docket 20-89. It also extended the deadline for submitting invoices by three months. The bureau said program participants have sought additional time due to "supply-chain delays and discontinuities, staff absences due to COVID, and challenges with state government purchasing regulations."
