NOTE: We generally cover blockchain/bitcoin/cryptocurrency related news. These are unprecedented times with whole world trying to deal with Coronavirus. As such, we are sharing updates related to coronavirus (whether or not they impact crypto directly). We hope that everything goes back to normal pretty soon and wish everyone out there safety and health.
Trump's administration has issued stricter rules to curb or at least slow down the Coronavirus pandemic in the US. They include:
"-- No more gatherings of 10 or more people
-- If someone in your house has testified positive, keep the entire household at home. Do not go to work or school.
--If you are an older person, stay home and away from other people
--If you are a person with a serious underlying health condition, stay home and away from others.
-- Avoid discretionary travel shopping trips and social visits.
--Avoid eating or drinking in restaurants bars, food courts. Use drive-through, pickup and delivery options.
--Do not visit nursing homes or retirement or long-term care facilities unless to provide critical assistance.
--Practice good hygiene such as washing your hands, especially after touching frequently used items or surfaces. Avoid touching your face."
While we believe that a rationed and much stricter quarantine is required to curb this ASAP - this is definitely a good second step (first one being travel ban) to help deal with Coronavirus.
If you are in the US - follow these guidelines for your own safety as well as to keep your loved ones safe.
