📈 HHS reporting through state or local public health

Not sure if any other jurisdiction has been asked by their hospital/healthcare systems about FEMA/HHS reporting on their behalf, but it looks like a decision has been made today/yesterday if you are sending your data to CDC:

Any U.S. hospital laboratory that is reporting to their state or local health department will not need to also report to the HHS Protect System. However, U.S. hospital laboratories that opt to report directly to the HHS Protect System are requested to report aggregate test information in accordance with the instructions provided by HHS Secretary Azar in an April 10, 2020.
