Taking care of ourselves, our families and our patients are our first priorities at this time.

It is very quiet in most neighborhoods this morning; no commuter cars on the streets, no school bus noises, no sounds of children playing. This desolate environment reminds us that there is a lot of unknown for all of us.

• DDRC Emergency Preparedness Kit
• ADA Treatment & Care Fact Sheet
• CDC Guidelines for Protecting Yourself and Others from the Coronavirus
• CDC Steps to Take if You’re Sick
