CDC COCA Call On Novel Coronavirus - Video Now Online



#14,797

On Friday afternoon, in the midst of a whirlwind of other breaking news on the coronavirus (see U.S. Declares A Public Health Emergency Over Novel Coronavirus), the CDC held an hour-long COCA (Clinicians Outreach and Communication Activity) call - primarily for clinicians and public health officials - on what they need to know about this emerging virus.

This was  `hot ticket' event, and many people (including myself) weren't able to watch it live.  The CDC very quickly uploaded the full video, which you can now view on the CDC's COCA website.
