As more cases of COVID-19 are reported in the U.S., the amount of guidance material being released can become daunting. The media isn’t necessarily helping either as the hype simply adds to the confusion, fear and unnecessary panic. As EMS professionals, we are trained to deal with infectious diseases, and we encourage you to refer to the CDC, WHO, NHTSA EMS.gov and your local and state regulatory institutions for the latest information on coronavirus. For your ease of reference, NAEMSP has curated resources on our website to quickly link you to helpful information including EMS-specific information that may help you generate your own local protocols for issues such as alternative response configurations. Be sure to check back frequently for updates.
