"We would like the country to realize that as a nation, we can't be doing the kinds of things we were doing a few months ago," Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top official at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a White House news briefing. He referenced guidelines by the White House advising people to clean their hands regularly and avoid handshakes.
People should also develop new habits such as covering coughs and sneezes and refraining from touching their faces, Fauci said. The CDC is also advising those over 60 with underlying health conditions to avoid crowded places, unnecessary travel, and to stock up on supplies.
