Here are the most important links for you to follow the current or latest developments concerning the CoronaVirus

AUSTIN, Texas (Texas Insider Report) — In this week’s article, I'd like to discuss the COVID-19 CoronaVirus. To be prepared, our office has been in constant contact with the pertinent Local, State & Federal Officials. State Agencies are collaborating with each other, and working closely with local officials to respond to current outbreaks.

I'd like to remind citizens across Texas and the Coastal Bend that we must work together to combat the virus, and encourage everyone to take these precautionary steps to prevent the spread of the virus:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. 
• If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Avoid touching your Eyes, Nose & Mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using regular household cleaning spray or wipe
