Coronavirus

In response to the recent global outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), I want to provide you with important information that will help you and your family stay healthy and informed on the virus. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) considers the coronavirus to be a serious public health threat. It is important that you are aware of the disease and take the necessary efforts to prevent its spread.

What is it?

The 2019 Novel Coronavirus is a new respiratory virus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. A novel coronavirus is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified. The 2019 novel coronavirus is not the same as the coronaviruses that commonly circulate among humans and cause mild illnesses, like the common cold.
