Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

Google cancels this year's I/O Annual Developers Conference over Coronavirus fears


Google have announced that the company will not be holding an I/O Annual Developers Conference event in any capacity this year, even calling-off the possible online conference as well. Earlier this month, we heard from the American technology giant that they have cancelled the in-person I/O Developers Conference due to the concerns over the continuing widespread of novel Coronavirus across United States as well as in most parts around the world. In a recent update provided by Google's official Twitter handle, we learn that the company is calling off all possibilities to hold the event this year considering the safety of their developers, employees and local communities, also in regard to focus their attention on helping people and the communities to stay safe, informed, and connected during this unprecedented time as the deadly COVID-19 is affecting thousands of people globally.


"Out of concern for the health and safety of our developers, employees, and local communities — and in line with “shelter in place” requirements by the local Bay Area government — we sadly will not be holding an I/O event in any capacity this year."
