Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials warned that the new coronavirus will almost certainly spread in the United States, and that hospitals, businesses and schools should prepare, according to an article on The New York Times website.
“It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more of a question of exactly when this will happen,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said.
Local governments should plan for “social distancing measures,” like dividing school classes into smaller groups of students or closing schools altogether, according to Messonier.
Businesses should arrange for employees to work from home.
