The following is an excerpt from Senator Robert Casey, Jr's newsletter to all Pennsylvanians regarding resources pertaining to the COVID-19 outbreak. Please heed precautions. Stay tuned, stay well.
Public health experts have indicated that the new coronavirus is spreading more rapidly in the United States, and have emphasized the steps that people should take regardless of whether they are at heightened risk for the disease. Currently, the best advice for protecting your health remains to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth; disinfect frequently-touched objects and practice appropriate social distancing. Individuals at higher risk should consider limiting time spent outside the home.
Your public health officials are here to help. The Pennsylvania Health Department will continue to keep Pennsylvanians updated on state response efforts and have made available different resources and emergency planning guidance. These are available at Health.PA.Gov, by calling 1-877-PA-HEALTH or by following their social media pages @PAHealthDept. Additional information and resources can be found at CDC.Gov/Coronavirus. If you are traveling, please take care to heed the warnings from the State Department.
