With the pandemic forcing families to stay home and avoid gatherings, a strong hurricane could require them to consider the very opposite: evacuate and find new shelter.
Early cases of COVID-19 are believed to be linked to a live-animal market in Wuhan, China.Hurricane season is approaching, and this year's may present unique challenges because of"It's another heavy lift to think about a second kind of disaster, when we're all dealing with the pandemic," Vivi Siegel, Senior Health Communication Specialist for CDC's Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice, said in a recent virtual briefing.
Teresa Sheffield walks out of the remains of her second floor apartment in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael on Oct. 11, 2018 in Panama City, Fla. If you need to evacuate, the CDC recommends adding to your"go kit" items that protect from COVID-19 -- hand sanitizer, soap and at least two cloth face coverings.

Anyone in a shelter who begins feeling ill should tell a staff member or volunteer immediately. In addition to continuing to practice social distancing and frequently washing your hands, reinforce these measures with children and be a good role model.Experts acknowledge some of the challenges may include shortages of masks or testing supplies, difficulties in transportation and some people who ignore protocol such as social distancing.
