Coronavirus COVID-19: FSBP Remains Ready
Dear FSBP Members:
Like many of you, we at AFSPA have been following the news of the outbreak of novel coronavirus/covid-19 around the globe. Many members live in areas overseas with large numbers of cases, including parts of China, South Korea, and Italy. Some members have been evacuated from their overseas posts back to the United States to reduce exposure.
Message about Coronavirus
With 34 confirmed cases in the United states and over 75,000 globally, people are understandably concerned about the Novel Coronavirus strain of the respiratory virus better known as COVID-19.
