Federal Document of the Month - Coronavirus

We are all experiencing a new norm across the world. Working from home, ‘social distancing’, ‘flattening the curve’, ‘community spread’. All new phrases in our vocabulary and new adaptations in our lives.

There will be hundreds of federal documents addressing COVID-19 in the months to come. Visit https://catalog.gpo.gov/F?RN=296677413 and search for COVID to see the titles of many publications and websites that have been published at the federal level. Rather than overwhelm by listing too many websites, we direct you to just a couple: https://www.coronavirus.gov/ and https://www.cdc.gov/
