             TOGETHER, OUR COUNTRY WILL SURVIVE CORONAVIRUS

  (Ms. UNDERWOOD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, the hour is late, but I wanted to rise to 
speak to my constituents.
  We are facing a novel illness in the coronavirus. I know that many 
are feeling nervous and uncertain with this type of disease, but I want 
to remind my community in northern Illinois that we have some tools at 
our disposal, commonsense solutions, like making sure to wash our hands 
and use hand sanitizer, to sanitize frequently touched surfaces, and to 
refrain from touching our faces. But we also need to make sure that we 
are extending common courtesies, kindness, and respect to our 
neighbors.
  If you are feeling sick, stay home. If you are really feeling sick, 
please call ahead to your healthcare provider so that they can be ready 
to accommodate you.
  Together, our country will survive the coronavirus and make it 
through this challenging time.
