There is WAY too much information being passed around surrounding the COVID-19 virus. It is encouraging that the communities are coming together like this to help, but there needs to be a way to consolidate it a bit. Hopefully this list of vetted links will help. Links to national and global sites (WHO, CDC, etc) are prominently placed on the more regional sites listed below.
Events are being canceled left and right and stores are changing operational policies. As we learn of them we will post that information separately; but the best solution is to check the Facebook Page of the organization, store, or event for the current status. We will not be including this information in this posting for that information, check here–we are updating it as best we can.
If you know of something that should be added, please send us an email at [email protected]
