As most of the country faces rapid growth in viral spread, we need to take these guidelines seriously. If you return from traveling to one of these 31 states, please consider quarantining for 14 days to protect your friends, neighbors, and community. We have beaten coronavirus back, now we have to work to keep it down.”
