The outbreak of coronavirus has spread to over 30 countries, including the U.S. Broward County and the County’s Emergency Operations Center is being proactive monitoring the situation, staying in close contact with Florida’s Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Common signs of infection mimic the flu, including respiratory symptoms, fever and cough. Everyone must be washing their hands regularly, coughing and sneezing into your elbow, not your hands and avoiding close contact with anyone showing respiratory symptoms.
