Coronavirus Resources
As you’re aware, there’s a lot of discussion and emotion swirling around the spread of the Coronavirus. We’re relying on information provided by the CDC, the WHO, the U.S. State Department, and state and local health departments to keep informed. We’d like to share the resources we’ve found helpful, as well as industry-related news. We’ll update this list on an ongoing basis.
Please remember to:
- Wash your hands and use hand sanitizer regularly.
- Avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes.
- Cough and sneeze into the crook of your arm, not into the air.
- Don’t share food, utensils, or beverage containers.
- Avoid those who are ill and stay home from work if you are ill, if possible.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as smartphones and doorhandles with rubbing alcohol wipes and/or antibacterial bleach wipes.
