Via his philanthropic organization, Michael Bloomberg has launched a program that connects mayors of U.S. cities, providing them with technical assistance and coaching to help them respond to the new coronavirus pandemic.
The program offers city mayors and leaders information on COVID-19 response efforts and lessons learned from around the country in fighting the virus. Bloomberg Philanthropies, Mr. Bloomberg's foundation, is working with partners to identify and document information in real time and share it with mayors who join the program. Participants have the option to connect virtually.
Bloomberg Philanthropies is also collaborating with Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to provide program participants with the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 from the CDC.
Mayors and city leaders can apply to join the program by emailing coronavirusresponse@bloomberg.org.
