Currently, the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19 illness is widespread throughout many communities around the world. It is essential to continue to practice social distancing and other precautionary measures as recommended by your federal, state and local government agencies to protect yourself and your family. For additional considerations and tools regarding reducing your risk of exposure to COVID-19, consider consulting public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
