The governmental response to the coronavirus pandemic has involved all 50 states, plus the federal government. You can find all kinds of questionable “facts” and opinions from the media and on social media. Where does one go to get accurate information about stay-at-home orders, back-to-work orders, guidelines on social distancing and statistics on where your state or the nation is at with regard to fighting the disease?
Generally speaking, you can locate the best information from the offices of the 50 governors, plus the mayor’s office of Washington, D.C., and from the official White House website. Also, each state and the federal government typically have another website dedicated solely to the pandemic.
We’ve put together the best two websites for every state plus the federal government in order to provide the most accurate information available.
