I am the general surgeon of the United States, the doctor of Jerome Adams-America.
And everywhere in our nation, we have taken steps to slow the propagation of coronavirus.
Now we must continue to take personal responsibility to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Because even though we do not like to make a serious case of coronavirus, we all risk getting it and spreading it to others - perhaps without even realizing that we are sick.
So, if we want to go back to school, return to work, return to worship and overall health, there are things that our country must do.
We must: follow state and local status guidelines;
Take extra precautions if a higher risk;
Wash your hands frequently; Stay six feet from others when you can; And when we can not stay at six feet from others, thank you, I ask you, wear a face covering.
These small actions will make a big difference.
So, I ask you to say with me,
America: coronavirus stops with me.
