The World Health Organization (WHO) and countries around the world are pooling resources and implementing procedures to fight the Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak.
From a global perspective, refer to the World Health Organization website to find updates and recommendations. Also, follow WHO on Twitter.
The World Health Organization is advising people to follow five simple steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Wash your hands often
- Cough/sneeze into your elbow
- Don’t touch your face
- Stay more than 3 to 6 feet away from others
- Stay home if you feel sick
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a specific website for recommendations on how to mitigate the coronavirus outbreak. Check the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | CDC website for additional details.
One of the best sources for situational awareness and global case distribution surrounding the COVID-19 numbers is run by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University. Please share!
Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Case Dashboard on the ArcGIS Online Platform
ArcGIS is a platform for organizations to create, manage, share, and analyze spatial data. It consists of server components, mobile and desktop applications, and developer tools.
For the United States, the following list of websites by state, includes two main items. First, the local state health services department and their available coronavirus information pertaining to their particular state. Second, the governor of each state and the coronavirus information from their office. States requiring people to wear masks when out in public is also listed where appropriate.
As with all aspects of providing information on the internet, website links and information are subject to change. Websites are hosted on servers that require attention and maintenance, which may temporarily make website information to become unavailable. Check websites often for updates and availability.
If you have additions, corrections, and/or updates to these websites, please use our Contact Us weblink and let us know what needs to be changed.
