School operations can accelerate the spread of the coronavirus. Governors of states with evidence of community transmission should close schools in affected and surrounding areas.
Governors should close schools in communities that are near areas of community transmission, even if those areas are in neighboring states. In addition, state and local officials should
close schools where coronavirus has been identified in the population associated with the school. States and localities that close schools need to address childcare needs of critical

responders, as well as the nutritional needs of children.

Older people are particularly at risk from the coronavirus. All states should follow Federal guidance and halt social visits to nursing homes and retirement and long?term care facilities.

In states with evidence of community transmission, bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed.
