2019 NOVEL CORONAVIRUS

For more information, visitwww.cdc.gov/coronavirus/

Recently, a novel (new) coronavirus was de-tected in thousands of people worldwide, primarily in China. A “novel coronavirus” is a strain that has not been previously found in humans. This novel coronavirus, also referred to as 2019-nCoV, can include fever, cough or shortness of breath.Most people who were first diagnosed with this infection reported exposure to a large seafood and live animal market in Wuhan, China. Recently, people with this infection did not report contact with this market. This means that person-to-person spread is occurring.

No people have been diagnosed with this novel coronavirus in New York State. The risk to New Yorkers is low.If you are a medical provider, see our Novel Respiratory Virus page.

Tips for TravelersIf you are planning any travel outside the US, visit the CDC’s Travelers’ Health web-page for the latest travel health notices.If you were recently in China and have a fever, cough or shortness of breath, you should:• Seek medical care right away. Before you go to a health care provider’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symp-toms. Wear a mask if you need to leave your home when sick.• After you have been seen by a health care provider, stay home and avoid contact with others until you are well.• Avoid travel on any public transportation (such as bus, subway, train or airplane) until the illness resolves.• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.• Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alco-hol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.

Hospital staff will not ask you about your immigration status. You will be seen regard-less of ability to pay.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATIONSocial Security Launches New Campaign to Fight ScammersThe Social Security Administration launched a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign to continue warning people about the ongoing nationwide telephone impersonation scheme. The PSAs feature a message from Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul. Social Security and its Office of the Inspector General (OIG) continue to receive reports about fraudulent phone calls from people falsely claiming to be Social Security employees. The scammers mislead victims into making cash or gift card payments for help with purported identity theft, or to avoid arrest for bogus Social Security number problems.People should also be on the lookout for a new version of this scam. Fraudsters are now emailing fake documents in attempts to get people to comply with their demands. Victims have received emails with attached letters and reports that appear to be from Social Security or the OIG. The letters may use official letterhead and government jargon to convince victims they are legitimate; they may also contain misspellings and grammar mistakes.The new PSA addressing the telephone impersonation scheme is available online at www.youtube.com/socialsecurity .Social Security employees do occasionally contact people--generally those who have ongoing business with the agency--by telephone for business purposes. However,

Social Security employees will never threaten a person, or promise a Social Security benefit approval, or increase, in exchange for information or money. In those cases, the call is fraudulent, and people should just hang up.Generally, the agency mainly calls people who have recently applied for a Social Security benefit, someone who is already receiving payments and requires an update to their record, or a person who has requested a phone call from the agency. If a person is not in one of these situations, they normally would not receive a call from the agency.Social Security will not:• Tell you that your Social Security number has been suspended.• Contact you to demand an immediate payment.• Ask you for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. • Require a specific means of debt repayment, like a prepaid debit card, a retail gift card, or cash.• Demand that you pay a Social Security debt without the ability to appeal the amount you owe.• Promise a Social Security benefit approval, or increase, in exchange for information or money.If there is a problem with a person’s Social Security number or record, in most cases Social Security will mail a letter. If a person needs to submit payments to Social Security, the agency will send a letter with instructions and payment options. People should never provide information or payment over the phone or Internet unless they are certain of who is receiving it.

NYC ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONProtect Your Pipes from FreezingHomeowners are responsible for protecting pipes and water meters from freezing. Most water meters and pipes are in basements, crawl spaces, and other unheated areas, where cold winter temperatures could cause them to freeze.If a meter freezes and breaks because the homeowner did not take reasonable steps to protect it, DEP will repair or replace the meter and bill the homeowner for the cost. If a service line or pipe freezes and breaks, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to have repairs made by a licensed plumber.Cold Weather Tips to Protect Your Pipes and Meters• Repair broken and cracked windows, doors, and walls• Install storm windows on basement windows• Tightly close doors and windows to the outside• Insulate outside walls• Eliminate drafts from crawl spaces• Turn off the water to outside faucets, remove hoses, and drain the pipes• Ask your local plumbing supplier about materials to insulate pipes and meters• Take extra care to ensure your meter is insulated if it is installed in an unheated garage• Insulate the wall and open cabinets if pipes or meters are in a closed cabinet against an outside wall to allow warmer air to reach them

• Arrange to have someone turn on a faucet periodically if you are going to be out of town during cold weather.What to Do When Your Pipes or Meters Freeze1. Open a faucet near the frozen point to release vapor from melting ice.2. Direct a hair dryer or heat lamp at the frozen section, or put a small space heater nearby; and, NEVER thaw a frozen pipe or meter with an open flame. This is not only a fire hazard but could also cause a steam explosion.
