Today's coronavirus pandemic update

EDITOR'S NOTE: Overwhelmed by the flood of news stories and commentary about the coronavirus pandemic? Who isn't? For the duration of the crisis, we're going to add two features to the website, "COVID-19 News" and a regular roundup of breaking news stories.

It will feature links to information about local, state and federal action, how to apply for unemployment insurance and other topics.
