9. Can you speak to responses for a small, rural congregation, far from large cities, who are scared and curious how best to respond to this virus?

Engage in normal precautions like you regularly do during the flu season. Wash hands frequently for at least 20 seconds. Get the flu vaccine. If you feel ill, stay home, self-isolate and call your doctor or local health department. -- @DrAngelaBaldwin

8. Should you temporarily avoid places like hot yoga, gym locker rooms and saunas since germs can easily hang around those wet places?

Great Q. Daily exercise is associated with a strong immune system! Take some extra precautions like wiping down machines before and after use. Try to go on off hours. The sauna is a closed space where germs can travel easily so consider skipping that. -- @DrMelGraber

7. I keep hearing the virus doesn't like the heat, so it should slow down in the summer is that true?

Some germs survive better in certain conditions, but we are still learning a lot about this specific virus. But keep in mind that when it's warming up here in the US, other parts of the world are cooling down. COVID-19 is impacting many parts of the world. -- @DrChloeNunneley

6. Being a diabetic, should I be taking extra precautions?

Taking extra precautions is smart and safe! Wash your hands for 20 seconds or more multiple times per day, avoid crowded areas or contact with people that are sick, and get some extra zzz's. Exercise can help, too! For personalized recommendations, ask your doctor! -- @DrChloeNunneley

5. Concerning the coronavirus, what do people do with their pets if they are quarantined in their homes?

If possible, ask a family member or a friend to watch your pets for those 2 weeks. If you can't, walk them right outside with minimal exposure to other people. Wash your hands before & after touching them. If your pets get sick, call their veterinarian. -- @DrDelaTaghipour

4. Is it safe to fly to New York from Florida to attend a wedding with 200 guests?

Unless going to a place with a travel ban, it depends on your risk tolerance. The potential risk may not only be medical but also of disrupted travel. Also depends what you'll be doing and the purpose of your visit, wash your hands and surroundings whenever possible. -- @DrMelGrabe

I live in California and mosquito season is starting ... Can you get (COVID-19) from a mosquito bite?

Coronaviruses do originate in animals, but there is no current evidence of mosquito spread. Human-to-human spread is by way of respiratory droplets, which can be spread through sneezes and coughs. -- @DrDelaTaghipour
