去年12月份來美國，原計劃3月7日回國，在2月6日接到航空公司信息，說航班取消了，只能延期，誰想美國近期疫情也開始嚴重。有很多朋友問我有沒有口罩？要準備消毒用品等，我說這些東西在2月初我就準備了，因為當時想著回國的飛機上要用，所以就在超市特價時就囤集了一些消毒紙巾，兒子還笑我說只用一包卻購買一箱，太浪費了。r
半個月前，美國情況嚴重後，我又購買了大袋的食物。
水和飲料也備了一些。
其實一直覺得應該沒有什麼問題，不會太影響生活。但是今天去上成人英語課時，老師突然通知說今天是最後一節課。後面還有兩週課取消了，最後的舞會也取消了。
聽到這個消息，我不算太吃驚，因為今天下午看到我要去參加了一些活動都陸續通知取消了，也在網上看了社區的新聞，政府發佈了最新的通知：
1、不能舉行100人以上的聚會
2、60歲以上的人不能參加聚會
3、老年中心的服務取消
4、公共圖書館的活動取消
5、體弱者不要參加聚會
原計劃去參加3月12日晚圖書館的一個自閉症講座的，因為我覺得我算在危險人群中，所以放棄啦，就在家裡寫了這篇文章。
我所在的城市今天發佈的最新通知：（英文版通知）
發佈時時間：美國時間3月12日16時左右
In cooperation and collaboration with Governor Gary Herbert and Utah’s Coronavirus Task Force, Mayor Michelle Kaufusi has released Provo City’s plan to help mitigate the community spread of Covid-19 for the health of our citizens.
The safety of the citizens and employees is of paramount importance to us. The most important thing to remember is to not panic but to be in a higher state of protection and prevention. Our primary focus throughout this rapidly-evolving situation is to maintain all essential city services, with minimal disruptions. In particular, it is ‘situation normal’ for our police and fire departments.
Preemptive measures are effective immediately unless otherwise stated, and will be re-evaluated on a day-to-day basis. We will notify the public of updates as necessary.
❇️ Cancellations of all city-sponsored performances at Covey Center for the Arts and all city-sponsored group activities at Provo Library at Academy Square will be in effect starting March 13
❇️ Closure of Provo City Senior Center and senior group activities and services
❇️ Suspension of all programs designated for ages 6 and under and senior adults at the Provo Recreation Center, The Peaks Ice Arena, and the Covey Center for the Arts
These include, but are not limited to the following:
❇️ Senior Pass related activities and classes
❇️ Elder Quest
❇️ Senior Lunch (Meals on Wheels lunch delivery will continue)
❇️ Swim Lessons
❇️ Child Watch
❇️ Youth Community Classes
❇️ Sports Programming
❇️ Dance Programming
Provo City’s Community Safety Plan is intended to take proactive actions that will help contain any possible spread and share action messages we can all take to protect ourselves and others, including social distancing, proper hygiene, and calm preparedness.
We will continue to take our guidance from Utah’s Coronavirus Task Force and others given responsibility for managing this ongoing public health issue. Our Provo City community safety plan was developed in response to Governor Herbert’s following recommendations:
❇️ Limit group gatherings to 100 healthy individuals or fewer
❇️ If sick, stay home.
❇️ Due to their vulnerable nature, adults over 60 years old should avoid large gatherings of over 20 people
❇️ Immunocompromised people should also avoid large gatherings of over 20 people
❇️ Telecommute to work, if possible and start immediately
