Good evening -

I write in response to your public records request below

Please note that your request is overbroad as it does not ask for specific DRC records in the manner they are maintained and accessed. If you would like to further clarify or narrow your request, please feel free to contact me.

As a courtesy, however, please find attached records that may be of interest to you.

These include directives issued to DRC institutions in response to the COVID-19 emergency, and variances made to DRC policies in response to the same.

Also attached is a declaration, submitted by the DRC Director in federal court, detailing DRC's response to the COVID-19 emergency.

I hope these records assist you, but please feel free to contact me if I can be of further help.
Best,

Sarah
