You also may have mild symptoms and not believe you could have the virus.

The best things you can do as the virus is still spreading is to maintain social distancing. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and use hand sanitizer if available. Avoid gathering in large crowds and if you have to be in public, consider wearing something over your nose and mouth to protect yourself.

Health officials say despite not having any positive cases today, it doesn't mean loosening restrictions is the best course of action. Today, the WHO continues to warn the world the pandemic is far from over. They said governments should maintain their restrictions or even increase them to avoid a second wave.

That second wave could come as early as the fall, something health officials are concerned about because it will coincide with flu season.

"Complacency could be our worst enemy at this time. We cannot permit ourselves to believe we are secure and safe. Any steps to ease social and physical distancing measures must be carefully considered and gradually undertaken," said Dr. Hans Kluge, director of WHO Europe. "The public must understand the inherent risks as governments, understandably, try to release the steam building up in societies and pressing our respective economies. This is not an exit; there is no fast track to the new normal."

DON'T DO THIS:

  • Wear a face mask if you are not sick. Face masks are only recommended if you are told to do it by a health care provider.
  • Buy "home" testing kits. These are people who are trying to take advantage of you and any anxiety you might have. Right now, testing can not be done in your home. There is no self-test for coronavirus.
  • Don't turn to random social media posts for information. The CDC or the Texas State Department of Health updates their guidelines and information. You can turn to KAGS for information. We have a special page set up for information.

What if you're in a risk group for coronavirus?

If you are 65 or older and/or have an underlying health issue like heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or cancer, you have a bigger chance of getting coronavirus than the general public. The Brazos County Health District recommends these people stay home as much as possible and minimize close contact with other people. Talk to your health care provider about getting additional prescription medication so you don't run out.
