NYS DOH Information for Healthcare Providers

Additionally, the Bureau wants members to know that these websites are updated frequently. Hence, when sharing information, it is advisable to share the links rather than download documents from the site and repost them.

Information for the Worried Public
As public safety professionals, it is our duty to disseminate facts, not fear. For members of the public, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has an excellent site with information on preparing and keeping citizens safe.
NYSAFC thanks Mike McEvoy of the EMS Committee for his assistance.
