We have been following guidelines from the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention here in the US, as well as other multi-national government bodies.
Following are important resources to monitor and inform us all during the situation:

AESC recommends getting the facts to help accurately determine your risks so that you can take reasonable precautions. Your healthcare provider, your national public health authority and your employer are all potential sources of accurate information on COVID-19.
To support members in staying informed and being prepared, AESC will continually keep you updated here with resources to monitor the situation and with reasources for leading through times of volatility.
