In the midst of flu season, countries around the world have been dealing with the outbreak of a novel (new) coronavirus, which originated in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of China in December 2019. The virus is known as “SARS-CoV-2" and the disease it causes is called “coronavirus disease 2019” or COVID-19. Learn more about the novel coronavirus, its situation in the United States and the latest news from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Trump administration declared a public health emergency in January and several federal agencies have been involved in the U.S. response to the outbreak. For the latest updates on the federal response to COVID-19, see NCSL's webpage on Daily Announcements from Federal Agencies. 

To date, there have been more than 3.7 million reported cases of coronavirus and more than 261,000 deaths globally. You can keep updated on the number of confirmed cases of and deaths from COVID-19 in the United States using regularly updated webpages from state health departments and the CDC.

State Action

As the federal government leads the national response to COVID-19, state and local health departments stand on the front lines. State or public health emergency declarations have been issued in each state and territory, including the District of Columbia. Governors in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands have activated components of their Army and Air National Guard. NCSL is tracking National Guard deployment by state here. The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials is tracking guidance on testing prioritization, elective medical procedures and other public health policies on their COVID-19 Response Hub. For the latest updates on other state-specific resources and actions, see the National Governors Association webpage.

State health officials continue to work with the CDC, federal authorities and other health agencies to ensure a collaborative response. State lawmakers may direct constituents to local, state and federal health resources to keep everyone informed. Meanwhile, several states are taking legislative action to mitigate the effects of an outbreak.

At least thirty-eight states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico have introduced legislation to support state action related to COVID-19. Several resolutions adjourn legislative sessions or adopt temporary rules to allow governing bodies to meet or vote electronically. Many bills appropriate funds or focus on health topics such as insurance coverage, medical costs or telehealth services. Others involve paid leave, unemployment benefits, guidance for schools, or workforce protections for those in quarantine or isolation. Some bills address price gouging or eligibility for public services, temporarily prohibit evictions and ensure utility services, or extend certain legal deadlines. Thirty-seven states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have enacted or adopted legislation.
