General Resources & Preparation
The Centers for Disease Control is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus that was first detected in China and which has now been detected in more than 100 locations internationally, including in the United States. The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” and the disease it causes has been named “coronavirus disease 2019” (abbreviated “COVID-19”).
In addition to CDC, many public health laboratories are now testing for the virus that causes COVID-19. View CDC’s Public Health Laboratory Testing map.
With this increase in testing, more and more states are reporting cases of COVID-19 to CDC. View latest case counts, deaths, and a map of states with reported cases. Here’s a global GIS map hosted by Johns Hopkins.
The outlook of COVID-19 is changing rapidly. Health organizations are providing updated information online.
You can help stop the spread of coronavirus and other germs by following these simple tips:
- Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; dry hands with a clean towel or air dry hands.
- washyourlyrics.com Fill the form with Title & Author and you’ll have your favorite song to sing while you wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer (great for kids, but non just for them)
- Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer (with at least 70% alcohol content) when soap and water are unavailable.
- Cover your mouth with a tissue or upper sleeve when sneezing or coughing; throw the tissue away and then wash or sanitize your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Avoid contact with people who are sick.
- Maintain a minimum 6 feet of distance between individuals in public spaces
- Clean and disinfect “high-touch” surfaces often (i.e. door handles, counters, phones, toilets) with antibacterial spray or wipes
- Use good health habits (get enough sleep, eat foods that support your body, drink plenty of water, stay active)
- If you are not feeling well, contact your healthcare provider or local authority before seeking in-office or ER treatment
Tips for Communicating About the Coronavirus
Organizations across the country are implementing an array of actions to protect their community members and put parameters in place to continue business even in the most severe situations.
Here are some tips to remember during this health crisis:
- Trust the Experts – Assure students that you defer to the public health department for protocols and recommendations based on your industry, that you are monitoring this information closely, and you’ll provide updates as information changes.
- Develop a Plan for Closures – Whether you are evaluating closures on a case-by-case basis, establishing new protocols, or completely shutting your doors for a period of time, do your homework on the potential impact of your decision before you make any announcement.
- Create an Emergency Contact List – Ensure key personnel have a current list of emergency contacts for staff, students, etc., as well as the local public health department and other community resources. If decisions are made quickly, make sure you are prepared to share information and updates in real-time.
- Stand Behind Your Decision – Trust your gut and err on the side of caution. Members of your community will criticize you no matter what decision you make. Trust that you have done your homework and are making the best decision based on the information available to you at that time.
- Allow Flexibility Based on Evolving Information – Information on the virus changes daily. Don’t back yourself into a corner. Be prepared to make and communicate changes and adjustments as you learn more.
- Be Aware that Different People Have Different Needs – Some people are at higher risk of this disease than others. Keep in mind not only the folks in your immediate circle who may be at lower risk, but also all those who will come in contact with them. Encourage and discuss the need for compassion and care for all people, including those most vulnerable among us.
- Don’t Forget the Children – If you are a yoga teacher for young children, please consider how they can continue their practice at home with families and friends. Schools are closing across the country and many adults are losing their self-control, this is very scary for children. “Talking with Children about Coronavirus Disease 2019” (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention).

Consejos para comunicarse con otros acerca del Coronavirus (Traducción en Español)
Las organizaciones de muchos el países están implementando una serie de acciones para proteger a los miembros de su comunidad y establecer parámetros para continuar con los negocios, incluso en las situaciones más severas.
Aquí hay algunos consejos para recordar durante esta crisis de salud:
Confíe en los expertos:
- Garantice a los estudiantes que está al tanto con las últimas noticias del departamento de salud pública de su ciudad para obtener protocolos y recomendaciones, asegúrese de estar monitoreando de cerca esta información y proporcione actualizaciones a medida que la información cambie.
Desarrolle un plan para cierres de establecimientos:
- Ya sea que esté evaluando cierres caso por caso, estableciendo nuevos protocolos o cerrando completamente sus puertas por un período de tiempo, haga su tarea sobre el impacto potencial de su decisión antes de hacer cualquier anuncio.
Cree una lista de contactos de emergencia:
- Asegúrese de que el personal clave tenga una lista actualizada de contactos de emergencia para el personal, los estudiantes, etc., así como del departamento de salud pública local y otros recursos de la comunidad. Si las decisiones se toman rápidamente, asegúrese de estar preparado para compartir información y actualizaciones en tiempo real.
Apoye su decisión:
- Confíe en su instinto y cierre puertas por precaución. Los miembros de su comunidad lo criticarán sin importar la decisión que tome. Confíe en que ha hecho su tarea y está tomando la mejor decisión en función de la información disponible para usted en ese momento.
- Sea flexible y fundamente cualquier decisión en la evolución de la información:
- La información sobre el virus cambia a diario. No se arrincone en una esquina, por el contrario esté preparado para hacer y comunicar cambios y ajustes a medida que aprende más.
Tenga en cuenta que diferentes personas tienen diferentes necesidades:
- Algunas personas tienen un mayor riesgo de contraer esta enfermedad que otras. Tenga en cuenta no solo a las personas en su círculo inmediato que pueden estar en menor riesgo, sino también a todos aquellos que entren en contacto con ellos. Fomentar y discutir la necesidad de compasión y cuidado para todas las personas, incluidas a personas más vulnerables entre nosotros.
No olvides a los niños:
- Si eres un maestro de yoga para niños pequeños, considera cómo pueden continuar su práctica en casa con familiares y amigos. Las escuelas de muchas comunidades están cerrando y muchos adultos están perdiendo su autocontrol, esto es muy aterrador para los niños.
- Aqui un articulo de como hablar con los niños sobre el COVID-19: https://childmind.org/article/como-hablar-con-los-ninos-sobre-el-coronavirus
