The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation has evolved rapidly over the past month since its initial emergence in December 2019. As we know, the CDC confirmed the first possible case of COVID-19 due to community transmission in the United States. At GW, we are closely following recommendations from the World Health Organization, the CDC, and other federal agencies. We are also proactively updating our policies and procedures to ensure the safety of our patients, faculty, students, staff, and visitors in the community.
Join us for community Grand Rounds as we discuss a high-level update of the outbreak to-date, clinical features of COVID-19 disease, what the medical enterprise is doing to address the disease, and what to expect as we move forward.
