Do not go to work, call your medical provider.

There is However No Mention of Proactive Sheltering
The advice from Whitehouse.Gov focuses on taking precautions to prevent on-boarding the Covid virus. It recommends working from home, and home schooling where possible. However, people in critical infrastructure industries have a special responsibility to maintain normal work schedules.
As far as the rest of us are concerned, we should avoid social gatherings of more than ten people, and stay away from bars, restaurants, and food courts. The guidelines further recommend avoiding discretionary travel, or visiting retirement homes and long term care facilities unless providing critical assistance.
The U.S. President’s 15 days to slow the spread of the Covid-19 conclude with personal hygiene tips we know well. This advice does not include mandatory sheltering. However, it is the direction the world is moving.
