The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new and updated guidance materials for avoiding the Coronavirus. Educational materials such as these are extremely important during this crisis period when “fake” advice permeates our online resources. I urge you to take a look at these and other CDC guidance materials as they come available.

The new and updated materials recently released include information about the following areas:

  • Visiting parks and recreational areas
  • Optimizing the supply of N95 respirators
  • Guidance for businesses and employers to plan for and respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019
  • Decontaminating and reusing filtering facepiece respirators
  • Travel
  • Child Care Programs that remain open

These and other guidance materials can be found on the CDC’s Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) resource page.
