With the Coronavirus pandemic in full swing right now the CDC has released a list of tips to help prevent its spread, including proper handwashing and good hygiene alongside practicing social isolation and avoiding large crowds. Many events are being postponed or outright canceled because of the virus, with businesses and theme parks alike adjusting hours and temporarily closing their doors.
