Until then, we must act together to slow the spread of the virus and look after each other.Even though the situation has been classified as a pandemic, it is one we can control. We can slow down transmissions, prevent infections and save lives.
All of us have a responsibility too — to follow medical advice and take simple, practical steps recommended by health authorities. In addition to being a public health crisis, the virus is infecting the global economy.
