FDA is working with U.S. Government partners, including CDC, and international partners to address the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
Fast facts
Guidelines from health authorities are changing by the hour. It’s very difficult to keep track. What was true yesterday has been modified today and probably will be tomorrow.

The second is in regard to importation itself; what information needs to be submitted to the FDA and the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
