CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The potential for coronavirus to become widespread in the United States has prompted the CDC to warn hospitals, schools, local and state governments and businesses to gear up.
In Charlotte, hospitals and health departments are getting ready to respond should coronavirus become an issue in the Carolinas.
The CDC said it's not a matter of if but when the virus becomes widespread in the United States.
In the Carolinas, hospitals and health departments are doing what they can to prepare for it, but it's also important to remember there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in North or South Carolina at this point.
