Thank you, Forrest and Joy!

Council: at the request of Lori we have updated the information
related to CONVERGE: https://www.designsafe-ci.org/covid19/

Let us know whenever you wish to change the status of your 
facility/component
so that we may keep the information on this matter up to date as much as 
possible.

Best...Julio
