COVID-19 Resources and Information

Right now, public health officials, legislators, and care providers are working together to ensure that we have the resources we need to address a potential outbreak of Coronavirus in our communities. In the meantime, take the same precautions that you would with any respiratory illness to protect yourself and your loved ones:

  • Stay home if you're sick, and avoid close contact with people who are sick. Be sure to cover your coughs and sneezes.
  • Keep things clean. Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol. Also avoid touching your face – particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth. Clean and disinfect surfaces that are often touched (children's toys, doorknobs, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, etc.)
  • Maintain your overall health. Stay current on your vaccinations, eat well, and exercise to help your immune system stay strong.

The effectiveness of our efforts to address Coronavirus are contingent on inter-agency cooperation and the free flow of information. The Chinese government should not continue to censor or detain medical personnel and citizen journalists such as Li Wenliang, Chen Qiushi, Fang Bin, and most recently Li Zehua.

Here are some trusted resources providing the most up to date information we have:
