Global
As nurses and healthcare practitioners, we have important obligations to our
patients, families, networks and communities as we respond to COVID-19. We are responsible for raising awareness about COVID-19 without increasing fear while sharing accurate information about who is at risk and how the virus spreads.
We have put together a list of reliable sources of information for educating the public. We hope you will use these to address the concerns of your patients, learn about specific workplace resources and adopt common sense tips that can be shared with others. We will continue to update you as information becomes available.
