With all the craziness going on right now with the Covid-19 virus going around I have collaborated with Sheila Johnson who put together a coronavirus information guide to help others feel more informed about this scary health development. It’s made up of the latest news, facts and myths about coronavirus, and ways you can keep you and your family safe. Here is the information guide:
On December 31, 2019, a case of
pneumonia with an unknown cause was reported to the World Health
Organization (WHO). Many more of these cases followed, and on January
30, 2020, the outbreak was deemed a Public Health Emergency of
International Concern. The name COVID-19 was given to the coronavirus
on February 11.
To date, more than 275,000 people
worldwide (18,755 in the U.S.) have been infected by COVID-19, and
more than 10,000 deaths (237 in the U.S.) have been reported. Now is
the time to learn what you can about this coronavirus and take any
precautions necessary to keep you, your family, and your community
safe during the outbreak.
Keep Up with Official Information
Stay Home When You Can
If Your Family Gets Sick
Take Precautions in Public
While these resources can get you
started, it’s important to stay up to date on official information
released by organizations like WHO and CDC. Also, stay home when
possible, make sure your home stays clean, and take preventative
measures when you go in public. Most importantly, if your community —
or any areas where you have traveled through recently — has seen a
spread of the coronavirus, seek help from a medical professional
immediately if you come down with a fever, coughing, or shortness of
breath.
