COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, is an increasing force health protection threat in areas where the Department of Defense (DoD) personnel live and work. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the leading federal public health agency responding to COVID-19. This toolkit provides communicators at military hospitals and clinics with important CDC and TRICARE-specific information to share with patients and beneficiaries.
For your convenience, we organized this interactive toolkit in five sections: (1) General information, (2) Prevention, (3) Signs & Symptoms, (4) What to Do if You Are Sick and (5) Social Media. Explore and choose the products that will best fit the needs of your beneficiaries and community.
In addition, a full packaged PDF version of the toolkit is also available.
