Houston area COVID-19 Channels?

[MFG_rrt]

Any idea where you are likely to hear COVID-19 related traffic? I've been monitoring Mutual Aid channels but nothing so far.

EMS is where the action is. Some aren't really revealing the reason for the call, sometimes just saying "medical call". Other times they state "breathing problems, but no fever" so you kinda understand what's going on.

I don't know about the Houston area, but for those using Priority Dispatch categories, listen for Category 36 calls. In the Lubbock area for example you may hear Category 36 or Signal 100, both indicate that the patient was screened and showing symptoms.

My report refers to the known fed interop repeaters in Houston with NAC 653, see Harris County - Federal Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

7TAC56 may be used by the NRG Park field hospital.
