We have moved this guide to a webpage version in collaboration with One Degree: www.1degree.org/covid-19. As of April 6, 2020 please refer to the 1degree guide (updated daily). Our new webpage version will be more accessible to the growing number of viewers and more mobile-friendly. Thank you!

This document was created by a group of Master's of Public Health students at Cal State Los Angeles who noticed the need to consolidate all relevant resources into one site. We have partnered with One Degree to increase our capacity to better serve our community.
