Wonder if during the prior months the NY State health department provided additional education and training to airports, hospitals and healthcare providers specific to covid-19. Or did they just provide the seasonal influenza season alert and hygeine tips?
Diggs on Washington State DOH webpages indicate no specific covid-19 education beyond referencing CDC resources, and no training was noted on the webpages.
Likely other states did not provide covid-19 education prior to reported US cases.
