"The spread and severity of COVID-19 will be difficult to forecast and characterize."  What's more, increasing COVID-19 cases in the U.S. will mean more hospitalizations among at-risk people, which could strain the health care system, they wrote. The document, dated March 13, is marked as "unclassified" but "for Official Use Only," and "Not For Public Distribution or Release."  In the document, officials explore responses that the government could take in response to the outbreak, including steps already taken such as shutting down schools and invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950, a law dating back to the Kor...

The outbreak has spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan in late January to countries and territories—affecting every continent except Antarctica—in the course of a month.
