去年12月份来美国，原计划3月7日回国，在2月6日接到航空公司信息，说航班取消了，只能延期，谁想美国近期疫情也开始严重。有很多朋友问我有没有口罩？要准备消毒用品等，我说这些东西在2月初我就准备了，因为当时想着回国的飞机上要用，所以就在超市特价时就囤集了一些消毒纸巾，儿子还笑我说只用一包却购买一箱，太浪费了。r
半个月前，美国情况严重后，我又购买了大袋的食物。
水和饮料也备了一些。
其实一直觉得应该没有什么问题，不会太影响生活。但是今天去上成人英语课时，老师突然通知说今天是最后一节课。后面还有两周课取消了，最后的舞会也取消了。
听到这个消息，我不算太吃惊，因为今天下午看到我要去参加了一些活动都陆续通知取消了，也在网上看了社区的新闻，政府发布了最新的通知：
1、不能举行100人以上的聚会
2、60岁以上的人不能参加聚会
3、老年中心的服务取消
4、公共图书馆的活动取消
5、体弱者不要参加聚会
原计划去参加3月12日晚图书馆的一个自闭症讲座的，因为我觉得我算在危险人群中，所以放弃啦，就在家里写了这篇文章。
我所在的城市今天发布的最新通知：（英文版通知）
发布时时间：美国时间3月12日16时左右
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
