Has your state posted a web site with guidance and data on coronavirus?

If so, please post it in your state's group on DU. Here's mine......

This site has excellent links regarding the nature of this disease as well as preventative measures, and links to other agencies.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health continues to monitor closely the international situation concerning the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This respiratory disease first was detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China Dec. 31, 2019. Since then, the virus has spread throughout China and to many other countries. Kentucky public health officials are monitoring individuals who meet certain exposure criteria to limit introduction of COVID-19 to Kentucky. We also are are preparing for the possibility of the virus spreading to the commonwealth.

For the latest information and prevention updates, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2019 novel coronavirus site.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — For Kentuckians trying to keep up with the latest coronavirus updates in the state, there's a portal for that. The state recently debuted a new section on the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services site dedicated to updates on COVID-19.

State officials have said they are preparing for the possibility of the virus spreading to the commonwealth. On Thursday, the first case in Tennessee was reported, making it the closest case to Kentucky thus far.

You’ve likely heard about the Coronavirus (officially called “2019-Novel Coronavirus” or “COVID-19”) in the news. While the immediate health risk remains low to Americans and there isn’t a vaccine yet, there are still ways that you can help prevent the spread of this virus.



To prevent the spread of this illness or other illnesses, including the flu:

Wash your hands often with soap and water,
Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze,
Stay home when you’re sick, and
See your doctor if you think you’re ill.


Visit The Centers for Disease Control website for more information on the Coronavirus, including what you should know about symptoms, treatments, testing, and other frequently asked questions.



Sincerely,

The HealthCare.gov Team

5. My university has a bunch of websites and phone numbers for students and faculty.

They've canceled all study abroad trips, but aren't banning travel (which is good, as I'm leaving Wednesday for England).

On Edit:

This wasn't in response to the above poster but rather to the OP.

9. Ha, yeah, I thought that might be the case

I’m frequently unimpressed with TX government websites and portals, so I was just gonna agree with you that OH is doing a better job of putting out information to the public based on formatting alone - regardless of update frequency.

Certainly, is more readable than the Texas site, and I have little confidence in that table squeezed-in on the side.
