First – If you think you have symptoms of the novel coronavirus, call your doctor first. Do not go to the doctor’s office unless you need immediate care. You do not want to expose others to your illness and if you are well, you do not want to be exposed to someone else. Stay home unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Contact the Red Cross to find out where to donate and how to schedule an appointment. Finally – Avoid crowds of 10 or more people.
