The Federal Communications Commission has opened applications for its second round of COVID-19 telehealth funding, according to a news release.
Five things to know:

- The program provides immediate support to eligible healthcare providers by fully funding their telecommunications services, information services and devices necessary to provide connected care.
- The second round of applications will open at 12 p.m. EDT on April 29 and will close at 12 p.m. EDT on May 6.
- Round one applicants who were not funded will need to submit a new application.
- Funding for the program is provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act signed into law last March by former President Donald Trump.
