Novel coronavirus: The 2019 new coronavirus (COVID-19) officially arrived in the US when a traveler was detected with the virus in January 2020. Avoid all nonessential travel to areas with high numbers of COVID-19 cases. Current precautions are the same as for anyone during flu season: get vaccinated, avoid sick people, wash hands, wear a mask, cover one's nose and mouth when needed, etc...

It's here.: There have been 95,166 reported deaths & 1,598,423 reported cases in the US as of 21 May 2020. Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinfect frequently used surfaces.
