As you may have heard from local news reports, the coronavirus has made its way from mainland China into the U.S from infected travelers. The concerning news of advanced illnesses, deaths, and outbreaks in other parts of the world continue to raise caution within the states as well. However, patients need to take some time to learn the basic facts, avoid misinformation, and effectively determine if they are at risk for the virus. 

For local communities, the coronavirus is not an immediate health threat. Government officials from HHS, CDC, and other federal organizations established protocols that quarantined travelers and reduced risks of widespread infection.
