As of Friday afternoon, California has reported more than 140,000 coronavirus cases and nearly 5,000 deaths. For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that go away within a few weeks. But for some people, including the elderly and those with existing health conditions that cause pneumonia or even death, it can be more serious.

According to the Johns Hopkins University data dashboard, the global death toll from the coronavirus on Friday increased to 423,257. This includes 114,195 deaths in the United States and the highest number in the world.

There are more than 7 million positive cases of coronavirus worldwide.

“Not outside the forest”

When the United States opens, CDC says, “Don’t forget your mask!”

During the first full media briefing after Friday 9th March, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention top executives said they would prevent more than 114,000 deaths and prevent the spread of the disease-causing coronavirus COVID-19. Americans asked Americans to continue

The pandemic is not over, said Dr. Jay Butler and Deputy Director of Infectious Diseases at CDC and COVID-19.

“The vast majority of Americans have not yet been exposed to the virus,” he said.

Dr. Richard Redfield, director of the CDC, admitted during his 30-minute phone call with the reporter that living in a locked-down situation was not easy and everyone was eager to return to normal life. It was. But to protect the most vulnerable to COVID-19, we need to do it safely.

“I want to tell Americans, thank you for being the individual public health hero you need right now to deal with this epidemic,” Redfield said.

CDC’s proposal on social distance

  • When eating out, make sure you have the option to sit outside or make sure your tables are 6 feet apart. Before you go, ask if all staff wear cloth face covers at work. If possible, avoid self-service items and limit the use of shared cookware.
  • If you have cookouts, use disposable tableware and cutlery, practice hand hygiene, and avoid sharing tongues, utensils, seasonings, and other things you often touch. If you have been infected with COVID-19, remind guests to stay at home.
  • If you go to the gym, do not share items that cannot be cleaned. Please refrain from high five and elbow protuberances. Restrict participation in indoor group training sessions.
  • When the library reopens, we’ll ask about picking up books on the curbside.
