Resources
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website has a specific page devoted to COVID-19, including practical tips for preventing illness, updates on the number of cases in the US, and answers to commonly asked questions. People at higher risk of serious illness from the virus (defined as older adults or those with serious chronic medical conditions) should read this page carefully.
- Johns Hopkins University’s Coronavirus Resource Center includes an update on global cases, information on transmission and diagnosis, how to protect yourself, and much more.

- The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle has a page specifically for cancer patients, caregivers, and family members, including information about risk factors and ways to reduce your risk of infection.
- The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) resource page provides information and resources on psychological and financial support.
