Online #coronavirus Information for Cancer Survivors

There is a lot of information available on the internet about the COVID -19 virus ( #coronavirus ) and what we know changes daily. Those with underlying conditions such as heart, lung  or kidney disease and compromised immune systems are at greatest risks. .

The best place to get your information is directly from the CDC. The page is updated regularly.
