No need to worry yet: We still have a lot to learn about coronavirus and how it's spread but so far every case has been people in close contact with someone else who has it for prolonged periods and there are no known cases of people getting it in a situation like a bus or train. It does not seem readily contagious; you are much more likely to catch the flu or other viruses. And only 1 case in the whole US so far.

Avoid crowds: If mass transport is crowded see if there is any way around it. Wash hands often with warm water & soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. Use a face covering or mask when in public. Practice social distancing – stay at least 6 feet from others (outside of family you live with). Stay away from crowds. Stay home as much as possible.
